my 1985 110 is awaiting a heavy duty 3 bolt steering box from J.C. A quick shout to them.
1. They advertised a new unit. Ive been waiting a while. Once I got in touch with them it turned out they were expecting me to send my old S.Box or pay a surcharge. This was mentioned NO WHERE on the product page, description, FAQ, or anywhere else. They put their hands up and have sorted it all now (been very good about it, full marks!!) but with the delay I'm still waiting.
2. SO..... whats a way to bodge the S.Box to stop a leak (from the bottom). I just need it to go through the Oman MOT and must do this in the next 3 days. They walk under the car and look for leaks. Its the easiest test to pass ever, but with the S.Box leaking a full res of fluid in a day it might drip a bit much.
What would be the damage of running it dry to the test centre (2km). the test it's self is driving forward about 40m onto a rolling road. the box will likely go in the bin after i change it anyway!
cheers.
