Where to start? First off Removed old power steering box on my 200tdi 110, and proceeded to replace it with a lovely reconditioned one i bought from a mate for much cheepness, only to find that the flow pipe from the pump had a male end just ever so slightly larger than the hole it has to go in. not only that i had to make new bolts to hold the bloody thing on with. after taking time out from that to do a quick service and covering myself in landy blood in the process i realised that i had to make an attempt to cobble somthing together to get my steering back so i found a fitting to go in the box and used hydrolic hose clamped from the end of the pipe to the box, job well done i thought to myself. Not so. Whilst parking in the local supermarket car park the make shift join gave way and i flooded the carpark with fluid. to make matters worse some smart arse shouted over "you've got a leak". well that was it, into the shop to buy booze and a very stiff drive home. for a proper bath and fair share of said booze. What a s**t of a day.
