Hi, I have a leaking PAS pump (NTC8287)... couple of questions. 1 = is it worth buying the seal kit and try to repair it? 2 = if I need to get a new one is there anyway to use a 300tdi PAS on my 200tdi engine due to its half the price?

Hi all, Just a quick question to the experts out there.... with a engine lift can you remove a 200tdi engine with the gear/tans box still attached from a defender? Reading the Hanes Manual noted that you have to unbolt the gear box to get the engine out.

Thanks for the great comments... this is a great help. Last question, removing the transfer box and gearbox in one can it be done by dropping it under the Land Rover?

Thanks all, last year I replaced the swivels and, bearing and gaskets... maybe something I done wong. I suppose the best solution is to start taking the wheel off and see where it's coming from. It seems to be more of the grease then oil.
