swivel rebuild help

hi all, my name Dave

i am new to this forum.
i have recently purchased a 1988 defender 90 with a defender 300tdi and r380.

im having a problem with the swivel gasket leaking on the near side/passengers hub.
this seems to have developed a slight drone to this side when steered in its direction

i have looked through the manual, and it looks a bit beyond what i am able to do.

i have had a quote from autoland in houghton regis, beds- they said if it is just the gasket, it would be around £70, but if the swivel requires a rebuild- it could be around £250ish.

i am not bothered about this, but times are hard at the moment.

my question is, is there any one else who could do the job for me for less??

i am in luton beds, and i have a workshop a walk away from autoland in houghton regis


i would be very grateful for any help or advise.

cheers, Dave

cheers for the replys lads.

the biggest prob i have is i can only use the workshop from day to day, and i can not leave thing incomplete over night etc as other vechiles are stored there over night.

so if i was to do the job, i need to ensure i can get it complete in a day.
