  1. Again, another vote of thanks! Just for those viewing this later on, some part numbers for a Defender 300tdi engine - * Brass Bush - BOSCH 1460324333 * Injector pump repair kit (has cover gasket, spindle shaft o-ring, and a HEAPS of other o-rings and seals) - BOSCH 1467010467 Total cost for both = $41 AUD
  2. A couple of weeks ago I noticed my steering wheel wasnt returning to the same position after being on full lock. Not really think about it and not having any time to look at it, I kept driving it. Then, going through a roundabout one afternoon I lost all steering (spun the steering wheel, no movement at the wheels). I got her trucked home and pulled out the steering box - sure enough, it was a sheared shaft inside the box. (It sheared right above the gear teeth on the shaft.) So I ordered a new Adwest box, and fitted it a couple of days ago. As part of the process I was bleeding air out of the system and turning lock-to-lock. However, on full lock the PAS system seems to really bog down (the sound of the steering pump suddenly gets very audible until I take it off full lock). So now I'm wondering if the whole problem was caused by a failed relief valve in the power steering pump? (i.e. too much pressure meant the shaft sheared.) Anyone else have this problem, or have any ideas? And if people do think it might be the relief valve, any help on how to check it out?
