Hi
I have noticed that my power steering fluid is always finishing, have topped it up a few times and noticed there is a leak from one of the hoses which is connected. Where can I buy 2 new hoses from? I would much rather change both instead of one.

Try the main dealers first just to get a comparison you may be surprised.

The hoses can shrink and the clips BMW use lose their grip, first off try a couple of jubilee clips on the hoses.

If the leak is at the bottle end, then the above is correct. It's a common problem on all BMWs with this kind of steering fluid bottle, and is easily cured by simply cutting off the old clips and replacing them with heavy duty worm drive clips.
