I have just bought a Freelander around a couple of months ago, SD 2012 reg, when bought new pipes had been fitted, however after a couple of weeks o ring at the steering rack blew out losing the oil, removed the pipe to find o ring split, thought it may have been damaged when pipes were fitted so fitted new o ring, hoping to cure the problem but a month later same thing has happened again,wondered if anybody had had this problem or had any advice? Thanks

Follow Mr Chips, advice take it back and get them to sort it out or get a full refund, car is not fit for purpose.
Not sure where we stand with that as bought from a second hand dealer,and cannot drive it due to this,had to get it recovered today.

Take a picture of the PS solid pipes and post it here. Aftermarket parts look different to OE parts.

They should pay for it to be recovered and fixed
Added a couple of pictures, one of the end of the pipe and the other is the rack where the pipe goes….which doesn’t look right to me either….looks a bit off centre and wondered if the pipe had damaged this, the o ring was split this time as well.
