The genuine and aftermarket p/s hose look the same as I just replaced mine 2 days ago (blown with a huge crack near the joins).
Repco would cost about 55 while holden cost 58.
It's easy to replace 1-2hr and don't forget to top the fluid up.

nar do it your self.

The top is easy. The bottom work on the right side wheel arch which a 15-16 size spanner would gain access. It's a tight space working under the car but you don't need a lift also there is alot more working room on the bottom then the top. It took me 50mins to work it out.
