Normally they are fitted with a 4-bolt box

cheers Tim   just my luck
was going to buy tyres but could be a PAS box instead

on paddock  what do they mean  :?:



 Surcharge on exchange unit £100.00

is that if i dont give them the old one

Just looked at those auctions.

The 3 bolt units have different fittings on them.  As far as I know.. the 6 bolt boxes are interchangeable with the 4 bolts as they both have metric fittings on them.

They will charge you £100 more and give you the £100
back on return of your old steering box..

mine's been leaking for a year

oil is cheaper than new box

[Tony W]

yet to  see if leek or puddle i hope the first

what about a seeal kit

[hobbit]

Tony, I was going down that path, chickened out and got a replacement box instead, depending on how bad the leak is there may be an alternative

Gimme me a  ring I'll explain it

i had a leek on my pas box and this stuff helped out
LUCAS POWER STEERING STOP LEAK
its from USA but i got it from e-bay
reduced the fluid leak by 75%  :D
hope this helps

I've bought a bottle of this stuff too to see if it makes any difference, wasn't sure if it was snake oil or not, but for the sake of a tenner compared to a new box and pump I thought I'd risk it!
