Hi,

Can anyone recomend a good person/firm to change a sterring box on a 110. It leaks out the bottom on full lock.

Approx costs anyone?

Based in Kent, near Cranbrook.

Not sure i have the right tools and experiance.

Thanks,

L
 
Don't get one from Craddocks. I exchanged one from there and it was worse than the one I took off..
 
Paddocks and craddocks are different, I had one from craddocks before and the one they sent me was faulty so I had to strip it back out again. They did send me another one first though which was good. It was a few years ago when I did mine but it was really straightforward to do. Just a bit heavy moving it around to get it in to position but still a 1 person job
 
Cool, sounds like i can do myself, get the spanners out.... again ;-)

Just spoke to Adwest - 0118 969 2351 (Megan)
Brand new, 4 bolt, with the drop arm £289.78 plus £29 delivery.
Sounds good to me.
 
I got a recon one from paddocks, didn't have any issues and was a massive improvement.

Took me about 1/2 a day to do, that was taking my time - quite a straight forward job (trusting bolts are not seized!)

I think my box had been leaking for a quite a while before I got the vehicle, as the bolts were all well soaked and came undone without any issues :)

Also came with 12 month guarantee!
 
cool, thanks fior the input.
I think for a few extra quid a new one will laster longer, recon and breakers are a bit of a gamble. Could be great, could be as bad.
 
Job, done.

Brought a new box directly and fitted it in about 4 hours.
Followed the attached instructions, and worked well.

Was a little heavy on your own, but just about doable if you take your time.

The only thing I would say is use a tool to seperate the bottom of the drop arm.

Thanks for all the help.
