my 200tdi failed on a power steering leak out the bottom of the drop arm area, i didnt think it was too bad but the bloke failed it anyway, and also play in the drivers side front wheel. after any advice on the best place to get a new pump from or whether there is a seal kit, how hard to do the seal etc is it worth it. also im kinda gueesing the wheel bearing is shagged, there is actually quite bit of wobble hadnt previously noticed it. anyhows any advice help etc would be much apprieciated :)
many thanx in advance matt

Hi there,
I don't know the answer but my power steering is leaking a lot so I'll be in the same boat as you next week :lol:
I have heard that you can get a seal kit but not sure how hard it is too do :?:
i'll be watching for replies !!

Guardian.:
BEEN TOLD THE SEAL KITS ARE A WASTE OF TIME.
1 THEY ARE A NIGHTMARE TO CHANGE THE SEALS
2 THEY NORMALLY LEAK BECAUSE THE BEARINGS ARE SHOT, NEW SEALS LAST AN HOUR OR 2.
IF ITS NOT LEAKING TO BAD PRESSURE WASH IT AND DEGREASE ALL AROUND IT, AS IT IS ALLOWED TO WEEP TO A DEGREE!

datalas:
changing the seals is not a job that most people would recommend,  you can get ATF stop-leak type affairs, they at least slowed the leak on mine down to a noticeable crawl.

mdw1uk:
thanx for the replies.
i tried cleaning it with degreaser etc took it in and the bloke failed it, i took it to this place as the bloke is a supposed land rover enthusiast and i was hoping he'd use his discretion knowing that land rovers are known for the odd leak. its not major but it is leaking, i mite try that atf sealent failing tht i guess its a new pump? any ideas on weres likely to be the cheaest? if i were to take it in with the sealent in and he then failed it againg would it require a completely new test?
thanx matt
