Help....
I have no hair left to pull out, i have a problem with my steering, as detailed here.
http://forums.mud-club.com/viewtopic.php?t=49620
I have now changed the leaky seal on the steering box, and you guessed it, it now leaks from the 'input' shaft...... i have also removed the rerservoir and checked that both inlet and outlet are clean, and not blocked with anything.....
I am now thinking that my only option is to buy a NEW steering box, and an oe pump.... ie, spend [PooPoo] loads.......
So, mm4x4 list a 'new' box for 220 +vat..... craddocks have on ebay a listing for a 'new' box for 206ish..... inc..... however, it states a 50 surcharge, which makes me thing thats it's not 'new'....... they also list an adwest type box, for 307....!!!! oh, and thats plus vat!!!!
Is it worth searching out the best price, or should i buy both units from the same source, so that if one fails i can say i changed them both at the same time.......
I really don't know what to do, i don't obviously want to spend over 400 notes.... but it's looking like the only option......
HELP!!!!!
Dr Evil:
You can buy steering boxes from the manufacturer. The company is Adwest based in reading. they make all the boxes for Land Rover, but you can now buy direct & are cheaper than parts suppliers.

Disco-Ron:
Yeh, i've seen their site.... but they have no prices on there.... they also don't seem to supply pumps.... ideally i'd like to source both parts from the same place....
Dr Evil:
last price I saw was £164 for a brand new box. But if you want to save money IMO shop around and go for the cheapest, even if its from two different places.
Disco-Ron:
164.... was that from Adwest????
not fussed about saving too much, i now just need something i can fit, and bl00dy forget.... i've had enough of messing about with it......
