If it is grease then someone has put it in hoping to keep box lubricated. It should be oil in there.
There is an O ring seal behind the output arm that is likely gone.
Have LOOK at the steering output arm while someone waggles the steering...
When I did mine when I had diesel knock when you slackened the faulty one it still ran whereas on the good ones. It stalled. I also disconnected suspect injector swung the pipe round so you could see spray pattern and it was more like a single...
A non working servo does indeed make it very difficult to brake.
A 2a ,for example, takes a fair bit of leg effort having no servo but a vehicle with a non functioning servo makes the brakes almost non exsistent.
Even though my Ninety is low milage per year these days I still change out the pads every two years. Truck does spend time in the crud and if you let the pads wear right down pistons get rusty. I know should fit stainless but just have never got...
In the case of rebuild I would too. Another reason for having multiple fuses is that it is simpler to find which circuit has issues. Right pain on a series when the fuse goes and you have to check every thing it does. Although not a two it is...
Just to let you all know I took the landy for a short run to settle the springs and then checked the axle to chassis distance and all seemed about right tighten them up and I can't belive how much better it rides over pot holes and bumps...

My old man was waved out of our farm track by the old chap at the road end. He was a pain to be honest but ment well.
On this occasion a mate of mine was charging round the blind bend in his go faster cavalier. Hit the SWB square in the drivers...
When it comes to roll over I think the series 2/2a [ in good nick ] was better. The steel screen frame is very strong and bolted to the bulkhead. Back then it was considered fine for 4x4 trials to just have the screen up and nothing else. Things...
A young lad pulled out in front of me once in my 04 Defender and despite trying my best I couldn't completely avoid him. The impact bent my steering rod and dented a wing a bit. I was fine as was my son who was in a child seat on the passenger...
Not done any of above [ I am LT77 ] but I have R380 manual. It says layshaft, output shaft and selector shaft come out of casing as a unit. Then remove input shaft and 4th gear baulk ring if it did not come out with output shaft. Hope this...
