Replacing a PS Pump. Anything else to hit on this job?

[ukoffroad]

The AB video mentions getting a new reservoir, hoses and such. I have a new pump, box is not leaking itself but the pump is losing fluid at the upper hose connection. The LR hoses are rather spendy, will inspect mine but wondering if anyone has a sense of "when I am doing that job I always replace X" kind of thing.
This is a 2000, pump and everything appear original. They mention a filter in the bottom of the reservoir I was not aware of...

In my D1 experiences, the hoses most often are the source of the leaks, particularly at the reservoir. . I have yet to have a leaking pump. I have purchased aftermarket hoses. My only problem has been twice the hose end that goes into the steering box wasn’t completely machined and I had to do some filing to get it to go in. No leaks, though. Id replace the hoses.

This holds true for Discovery 2s as well. I'd replace both lines to the pump. At a minimum, replace the soft supply line on the bottom. I had one burst on the highway and nuke the pump.

On a Discovery 2 there is a small coolant vent hose on the front of the intake manifold. I'd replace that as well. It's nearly invisible with the intake and compressor in place.
