Hi all,

I have been quoted around £160 to have the reservoir and fluid changed on power steering. I hear its a relatively easy job to do, but can't find the parts online.

Can anyone help point me in the right direction. Only bought our landy a few weeks ago and it's cost £400 already.

I also need a drivers seat bolster in the black mogel material, ours is ripped and worn.

Thanks,

Simon

Why do you want a new PS reservoir? They don't generally break. Normally it's just a case of draining the oil fluid and refilling with fresh. There's nothing special about the fluid, it normal Dexron ll or lll. See this thread for more information http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/power-steering-fluid-change-279983.html

Sorry caught a sickness bug! Changing as the garage said my filter is blocked, and best way round it is to replace the whole thing. It stiffens up when parking and makes a noise, it's not happening all the time and has almost stopped as we have two new tires on front!
