I'm a proud owner of a 95 Hilux 4x2 Cab Diesel ute LN86R 2.8L 3L.

It was in emasculate condition when I bought it 12 months ago, but has had various issues since then. The door handle broke day two. The indicator relay went week three. The top power steering hose started leaking month two. I expect stuff like this for an old car. 

Usually I have no problem fixing small things like this but I've been very surprised by how hard it's been to source parts here in Australia. I've been given the wrong relay twice and had to eventually order them from the USA. It'll take 3 weeks to get here! Finding a power steering hose seems to be impossible here in Tassie and its been recommended I get the existing one fixed. I did have one sent from the mainland through Sparkos but it was the wrong part. I use the ute daily and live in the bush, so pulling it out, borrowing a car, driving it to town and putting it in to be fixed seems like a hassle. I'd rather buy a new hose and fix it myself in an afternoon. 

Can I get advice for a good source of Hilux parts in Australia? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Any hose shop can make up a hose matter of the right fittings
