Hi

Just took my 1996 300tdi for MOT today, mechanic passed it but told me my swivel joint is leaking, and needs attention.

ill have a go at fixing it my self, just wondering how to tell if i need a new joint, or if i can get away with replacing a seal.

kind of new to DIY jobs on Landy's so all comments appreciated!!!

Regards Anton

Just looked on Paddocks £3.05 for a bottle of one shot, just enough for 1 swivel joint.

just a bit of info for any one else with same problem.
