It was a while ago. I paid £149 for it, and that included the output shaft reground.

I paid around £800 for an Adwest one two years ago from memory. Still not leaking two years later…
 
I got the last reconditioned one I fitted to my Disco from AutoSteer Direct. Still leak free after a few years. It was £150 on ebay.
That is good to know (brand not the old cheap price) as I am currently in the market for a refub box as the refurb job I did replacing the seals lasted about 6 weeks and now leaks worse then before! I was horrified at the price of a new box!


£401 inc exchange mind you thats for my truck
I have seen that as well, is anyone running a box form them that can feed back good or bad?

I tried finding them on eBay the other day and I don’t think they are on it anymore. I searched the internet though and they look as if they are still operating. I fitted two refurbed PAS boxes prior to using theirs and they both didn’t last long. I also tried new seals and like you, they leaked very quickly. I think if it happened again, I would consider the sleeves that are available from SKF.

I think if a refub box does the same I would consider a new one, but that really would be last resort! Would cost me the same as my galv bullhead did!

The one @KISSMYAURA linked looks like what I would go for. It’s usually the output shaft wear that caused the leak and the fact they are machining it back would sway it for me. I never looked, but they must be giving a decent guarantee on it if they are confident with their work.

I'm ordering one from westernpowersteering..

I've shopped around and for the effort of the extra £100, these guys have a good rep and looks like i can fit it and trust it.

Few of the ebay adverts i've been are cheap seal kit replacements etc
