newbie in need of some advice

This is the stuff you want for your power steering leak - have used it before and it's very good :-http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Power-Steering-Stop-Leak-That-works-32oz-bottle_W0QQitemZ230029336478QQihZ013QQcategoryZ52640QQcmdZViewItem
Go carefully if you are using a pressure washer under the bonnet - put a plastic bag over that air filter, you don't want to get water in that
Keep the spray away from the electrics too - I would just use some gunk and a wee paint brush to carefully clean round the oily bits and then carefully rinse off with water
Saves soaking the whole engine and saves the red face of your rangie not starting if you have cleaned it at a local garage ! :wink:
Garth:
The thing next to air filter is the LPG vaporiseor (as said previously) it is where the LPG is turned into a gas. Its the same as the one on mine and mine is a Tartini gas convertion so if you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Regarding oil leaks a little oil goes a long way so keep checking levels before you do anything drastic. Underneath mine is covered in engine oil from a leaking sump gasket but only uses 1 litre between oil changes.
Anyway its not an oil leak its a rust prevention system :D :D
jock:
the lpg vaporisor thingy theres a slight dripping coming from the bottom knipple type screen from undernieth it is this a major prob or not?
Range Rover Blues:
Is the leak from the LPG 'vaporiser' (not the correct namen for it) anti freeze that heats the thing up to prevent freezing, as LPG would escape as a gas or freeze as it did so.
Leaking PAS box, well you should try the Lucas stop leak, it does work though sometimes you need to use a lot, otherwise about a ton buys a reconn box but fitting is a cow, especially with the airconn fitted above it.
The belts have probably been removed because the Airconn doesn't work or uses too much fuel, expect up to 5mpg loss. If yo remove the airconn belts yolu can loosen the water pump belt thus reducing wear in the pump, that's why it's better than just not switching the air conn on.
jock:
just had a look at the pas header tank and its now low so i presume it is the steering box thats leaking then as my oil level hasnt dropped at all?
