good luck, mine is leaking like a good un and dealer says the boxes are on back order, don't know when they will be in, and after all it is only the steering....

Same as me...
Waiting for the famous steering box. Fortunately the leaking is just one or two drop in the parking place every day. Eduardo MY 2007 110 SW PUMA 2.4: Big Fog of 64' MY 1994 Jayco 1207 Folding camper: "El Tremendo"  Click image to enlarge |

Had Land Rover assist check it out this morning. He has tightened the nut and all leaking has stopped even under pressure. Lets hope it holds. There should be a fingers crossed emoticon

You only need to tighten the nut to reattach the hose. Mine did it 2 years ago. LR assist fixed it on the drive. Not had a problem since.
You shouldn't need to wait for any parts - they've not changed the design at all. Best to just get your existing hoses tightened. One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS + New Defender 110 First Edition |

Mine did the same. Again, LR Assist were with me in under an hour, tightened it all up and not had a problem since. Mind you, left some nasty stains on my driveway which despite plenty of effort to remove them are still showing.

Could very well be the steering box. You will see a drip from the front lower lip. It is actually coming from the top seal on the box and travelling down. Do not be too concerned unless you are topping up the reservoir. I noticed mine a little damp on top with a little drip from the front lower lip. Goes in next week for a steering box and a clutch. Actually I have no bother with the clutch apart from a rattle when turning her off. It disappears if I turn her off with the clutch pedal depressed. Seems to be the clutch springs so I pointed it out to the dealer and they ordered a replacement. Changes gear and drives beautifully so I was tempted to leave well enough alone. Decided I might as well get it done under the warranty. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel
