Has anyone reconditioned the steering box on 200tdi Disco
I see that Rimmers do a reconditioning kit
Is it difficult to do?

personally wouldnt bother as 9/10 times in 2 weeks time after all the wrok in doing the seals it starts to leak again,its more finacialy economical to fit a new box (reconditioned unit)

i,d agree with mike there i could recon them myself but for the hassle and the fact they are around the £80 mark on some websites why bother?

Buy a recon one from paddocks, by the time you send your old one back it will cost you £99, and it comes with a warranty.  I bought one a while back, no problems, great service too.  Paddocks can even send a courier round to pick the old one up for £10 and I did that 3 months after I bought it !
