Sometimes when hoses fail, it is as little as a pinhole where the union
is crimped onto the end and won't necessarily show itself until the
steering is put under alot of pressure and the hose expands - such as
turning the steering wheel without the vehicle moving.

Oh and a Subaru WRX isn't anything to shout about either, especially
when car transporters full of them get delivered to dealerships. Talk
about being as common as ****.

Actually, are you a Chav? Your car buying certainly looks like it.

Steering boxes don't leak anything like as often as racks. And they can
often have their seals replaced - whereas a leaking rack is usually scrap.

And if it's not the cause , leaving it on full lock for any more than 30
seconds is sure to blow the seals.

Just thought it safer to mention before further trials.

We must apologies for Conor. He's not taken his tablets recently and he's
getting a little bit feisty.

Wow, the best you can do? I'm offended to my very core.

Shows how much you know about cars then doesn't it you chocolate chimney
sweep, the LSE (wot i drive) is an old car now, not shiny, not a status
symbol, an old car that i use for various duties. Non that you need to know
about you idiotic ****flap.

Subaru WRX is a superb all rounder, quick, handles very well & is cheap for
the perfomrmance you get (not just raw speed either you cock) I bought it
due to that exact package, **** all to do with status or chaviness!

But then, some arse bandit who thinks 1990 Range Rover has a steering rack,
posting to a tech group is always going to show their true colours you
****ing mongchop.

Bye bye you dogfart.

Oh, I've met Conor before (in usenet terms, not in RL AFAIK).

Besides, some of the AFLs can be feisty as well, and if you catch them on
the wrong day, can be a bit prone to snap.

However, getting one's facts right before proffering opinions helps,
cross-posted or no...


BTW. on the subject of leaky steering box seals - I tried some of that
seal-fixing steering box fluid wot you can buy in the minibus steering box,
which was leaking when I got it from the top seal, on the steering column
shaft. I figured that for 4 quid it was worth a try. And so far, it's not
leaked again. My flabber, a not inconsiderable item as them that know me
would doubtless point out, was gasted.

bad form to hold PAS at full lock under load at all, really. as soon as you
hear it hit the stops, you should back the wheel off a fraction to stop it
overloading. On all the ones I've had, it's quite obvious.

Please don't upset Conor. I'd like him to be in a happy frame of mind
when he goes to work, for it might be his HGV that fills my rear-view
mirror in the morning.

Clearly a Troll to make such a comment cross posted to a landrover news
group.

Do you like being unpopular or something? Bullied as a child per chance? No?
Must just be plain spoilt then.

See we can all stereiotype all day long.

I must start keeping track of his outbursts. I was beginning to wonder
whether it was a monthly thing.

He'll be going down south to Save The World by trucking diesel around after
that little accident they had, so if you live up Norf you should be safe.
