More steerin woes....

<< < (3/3)

Disco-Ron:
So, i went out this morning, the first thing i did was remove the outlet from the pump to check flow, yep, got flow, but not loads....
Then i removed the return pipe that goes into the reservoir..... yep, same amount of flow there aswell....

So, reconnected everything, still no power assistance....

So, the only other pump i had was one that i changed because somone told me that the reason i was having so much trouble with leaky boxes was cos they thought the prv in the pump was at fault..... so i thought i'd fir the pump briefly, and see if that was any different.....
Well, i fitted it, started the motor, and immediately i had a lot more flow through the reservoir, and it bled itself through in no time flat..... turned the steering wheel, yep, it's now working.....

So to summarise, i have now had 3 faulty boxs, i then gave up and bought a new Adwest one, i have tried three new pumps, 2 have now proven to be faulty, and the one inbetween i gave away to someone saying that i couldn;t say for sure if it was ok....

Does anyone ever have worse luck than me with these sorts of things.....??? all i have to do now, is get back in touch with Island4x4 about this pump, although this time i'll be having a refund, and not another 'faulty' pump...LOL!!!!

Range Rover Blues:
You think it's sorted then?

Disco-Ron:
Well, i've now used it a couple of times, only short journey;s though, and touch wood, no leaks, and fully functioning steering..... really odd though, to have as many faulty parts delivered as i have must be some sort of record......  

Ironically, i'm now using the pump that was on the truck when i got it, which i only replaced cos the company that supply paddocks with recon boxes reconed it must have a faulty prv..... :roll:

Fingers crossed.....

If your gettin dodgy gear from shops I'd start taking the risk with scrapers as it sounds like all you've had is scrap repainted and sold at inflated prices  :?
