Steering box MOT Help pls

(1/3) > >>

Artwigwa:
Hi all,

My 90 has failed its MOT on a leaking steering box   :( 

Does anyone have any tips on how to fix it   :-k   as I do have a seal repair kit with 15 parts! but never touched a steering box before   :huh:

Thanks

solihull-mick:
Im my experiance dont bother trying a seal kit, the output shaft will be worn to death, take the plunge and replace the box, ive wasted many an hour and customers money fitting seals,

Les Henson:
I agree - I've twice tried to replace the seals and it's made no difference. Adwest PAS boxes are very good and they generally have a good reputation.

Chris Putt:
If its not absolutely leaking out, and its merely a case of getting it through an MOT before replacing a bit down the line......I have heard you can stick a tablespoon full of brake fluid into the PAS fluid and it expands the seals to give a temporary fix.........

Range Rover Blues:
Buy a tin of stop leak, steam clean it and take it for the MOT quick before it leaks again.  Anything else other than a new box is a waste of time.

DON'T put brake fluid in, it will destroy everything in the PAS system in time.
