Steveo29,thats what I thought when I saw it,

 

I've blown a few hydraulic hoses over the years,be it power steering or hydraulic drives on me truX.

 

Theres a company up here called 'hydrasun',perteks up ere too.

 

and like most they have an 'onsite' service,might be worthy of a ring I think if you cant source an oem part.

 

failing that Im sure a real mechanic could make somthing up :-P
