Me steering box is leaking from the pressure seal on the input shaft at the
top.
Anyone had any success with that stuff you put in the oil to swell the
seals, and if so, any recommendations as to which kind to buy?
On the face of it, It doesn't look too hard to replace the seal, presuming
the fecker is available and presuming2 that the shaft isn't grooved. But
putting stuff in the fluid would be far easier, of course.

www.ddol-las.fsnet.co.uk my opinions are just that
"Quos deus vult perdere, prius dementat" Euripedes, quoted in
Boswell's "Johnson".
My 90 failed its mot last year because of a leaking box.
I remember seeing a product last year at the land rover show that cured
this,But for the life of me i can't remember what it was called.
I went into a motor factors and explained what i was looking for,And he
handed me a bottle of seal swell and said that they were all as good as each
other.
That isn't the proper name,But thats what they're called if you know what i
mean.
It cost me £6.99 and it worked a treat.
I went back for a re-test the next day and he thought i had put a recon box
on it.
Its mot time again next month and still no sign of any leak.
