steering box seals

Right,


How easy/difficult is this job on a 1990 Disco1 200tdi anybody got any tips?

my tip would be get a good secondhand box as replacing seals is difficult and seldom works

Would agree but my budget is tight and cant find a box for under £150 squids

try this
Land Rover Discovery and Defender 200Tdi / 300Tdi 4 bolt power steering box | eBay

and there are more on ebay

I am getting to the stage where I will HAVE to do the seals on a PAS box as I have used all my spares and swapped around all possible combinations of boxes and vehicles.....the repair kit is under a tenner so Im going to have to bite that bullet .

I rebuilt mine about 8 years ago with a seal kit, it took me a day and was a bit of a faff but it hasn't leaked since so was worth doing.
I didn't have access to Rave manual then and my Haynes manual just said it can only be done by a dealer so I looked in an old Haynes manual for the Range Rover classic and it told me everything I needed to know!

It's definitely worth a go if you feel inclined.

Cheers, Peter.

P.S. If anyone wants the info on this, PM me your email address and I'll send it to you

have been losing fluid on my steering also (98 disco 1 300tdi)
last bottle of fluid i bought has a 'leak fixing' agent in it, apparently

put half the bottle in - 150ml - checked it a couple of times - think it's less than normal - try again in morn
