Cooling Water leak.... continued......
Range Rover Blues:
Once it's been around for a while the one-shot turns into an oil anyway, well mine did.
Disco Matt:
The power steering version of the stuff will keep a leaky box going for a few more months in my experience - I did think it had cured the problem but the leak came back and got progressively worse until a new recon steering box was needed.
I must point out that I don't know if that is the exact product used on mine. I asked a local specialist to take a look at it, he put the stuff in and handed me an old coffee jar of red oily goo (more of the same) to top it up with!

I must admit, from experience, when i had my old 90, i would just be delaying the inevitable, and may as well just get a recon box. My existing one is not leaking at the bottom, where the drop arm is, but where the steering wheel connection is? MOT due in a couple of months, so will need to sort before then, and when i was looking on paddocks the other day, the price wasn't as bad as i was expecting?
i seem to be springing leaks all over at the moment, but i take that as standard on a Landy :lol:
davidlandy:
cured my leaking pas box by adding a small amount of brake fluid - worked a treat!
BigA:
i think my box is past it now. i seem to have a lot of play from the steering wheel now, before the wheels move.
