More expense!!!
« on: April 14, 2008, 20:16:42 »
Well on top of all the other things that have gone wrong with my TD5 disco II the steering box is losing fluid faster than i can top it up. I've been told that the box is beyond salvage so I'm wondering if this is a D.I.Y. job or does it need to go in?

Thanks for that but I have been advised that a seal kit wont do the job so the whole box must be replaced :shock:

Temporary fix....... Put about 20ml brake fluid in the power steering reservoir- expands the seals! mine has stopped leaking until the seals finally give in properly.....Should get it through the MOT tho!
