I've got a 2000 Td5 Disco which needs its steering box replacing.

I went to a supplier who I trust very well and asked for "a steeting box for a 2000 plate Disco 2". I've paid for the box and come away.

My question is (showing how thick I am here) is there only one type of steering box for a Disco 2? I didn't say Td5 to him - but then I don't know whether the Disco 2 had the 300tdi engine anyway.

Have I definitely got the right box?

Any photos of what it should look like?

There are more tipes of PAS Boxes, - Steering U have to be sure that the one you payed for is the right one.....check it's code and corroborate it with the VIN of your car

Thanks for that but I'm a bit confused.

Where is the code on the box? The little plate? If so it says GBE 61 40000 0-F-001356

How will this relate to the VIN?

Sorry for being thick.

I hope u didn't waste the package of the steering box.........there must be the code, after that check out the link I gave you and see what kind of box is related to your car......Example> your car is RHD and VIN last digits are 245941 so you need QAF000010........the difference is between LHD and RHD boxes ......one is the other's a kind of "mirror image"

Believe it or not it didn't come in packaging - I honestly do trust this supplier and his knowledge. I've done a lot of business with him before, returned things with no receipt...even had them help me fit something I was struggling with at no cost.

I'm sure he's got it right - if not then it'll just have to go back. Sure it's just me panicking.

Sorted through what you've said and found a picture of QAF000010 - it's definitely that one and not the LHD mirror image.
