Power steering hoses

[Geordie Jim]

UCA 445J didn't have power steering, but she does now,
Well nearly.
Anyone got any pictures of the hose routing in front of the engine?

Thanks John!!
I have the bracket with 3 holes in it.
The low pressure hose runs from the pump to the front of the car?
Must run under the radiator?

Jim.

Ah, got me there Jim, I took the pics of my water pump, the PAS pipes just jumped in the shot, like the kid behind an outside broadcast newsreader.

Jim. Whilst I had the rad out and the water pump off, I decided to remove the PAS belt, I didn't realise I needed to be a Ninja Gynaecologist with acrobatic tendencies. I'm beginning to wish I bought something simple to work on like a Citroen DS
Belt is U/S so a good job I pulled it.
I'm having to lie down listening to Billy Fury on youtube to calm down. :shock:

Hi Jim,

The radiator does not sit on top of the low pressure hose, in the sense that the hose is beneath the radiator. Rather the hose lies in the tray immediately in front of the bottom edge of the radiator.

Thanks Ron.
The parts book shows a "P" clip, looks to near the middle of the car, but not what it is fastened to.
Where is the hole for the clip?

Jim.

Hi Jim,

The clip is attached to 368919, which is the protection channel for the radiator.

Jim, I'll get you a pic tomorrow afternoon,

Jim, here you go

P clip is the rusty bit on the pipe, inboard from the radiator drain hole.
