Power Steering Pump Replacement on Discovery Series II

Access and replace the power steering pump on a 1999-2004 Discovery Series II. Watch Doug, our Land Rover Master Technician, show you the power steering pump, which is part # QVB500080OE, a common replacement item. It is recommended that the hoses related to this installation be replaced too. Kit # 9397D2, includes the pump to box, reservoir to pump, and low pressure hoses. Doug also covers the power steering reservoir (QFX100371) discussing issues that develop over time with this part. You will also need the ACE and Power Steering Fluid. Doug shows the genuine fluid STC50519 in the video. There is also now an excellent aftermarket alternative for this fluid now from Rock Oil that we recommend (and will save you a few $$).
