Default Power steering leak

I have a 1996 Jaguar Sovereign 3.2 straight six that I brought out from England to Barbados,where I live, in 2016. I have been lucky with reliability so far but I now have a leak from a perished hose from the pressure cylinder of the power steering. My mate, a mechanic tells me I need a new pressure hose. I have found a few diagrams but I can’t find the part number. Can anyone help me find the part number so I can order one from the UK?
Thanks in advance

Remember to order the OEM part, even if it costs more - the cheap aftermarket ones are not rated for the pressure and will start leaking quickly (happened to me twice before i bough an OEM hose)

Good tip, Thanks.

Apparently there are some hoses available on the island which are home made and unreliable.
Having a recommend brand is great.

i got mine from https://parts.jaguarlandroverclassic.../brand/jaguar/
but it seems the RHD hose is twice as expensive as the LHD one for some reason!

If you know of a hose-specialist with a good reputation locally it might be better to have them remake a new hose while reusing the metal pipes and fittings of the old one.

There must be a hydraulic hose shop on the island to service and replace ruptured hoses on industrial and construction vehicles/equipment.

If you bring them the old hose, they can reuse the metal ends and replace the rubber sections.

Will a used hose approximately 30 years old last very long?
