<div><br /></div><div>We decided to meet up with a friend at a campsite that was about equal distance for both of is in Llangattock, South Wales and as we were unsure of the state that the facilities were in we determined to be as self sufficient as possible (mind you we did opt for an electric hook-up) </div><div><br /></div><div>So we filled the water tank and pre-cooled the fridge and loaded up for what ended up being a fabulous weekend of weather. We also packed in our freestanding gazebo so we had shelter had the weather changed. In the end that was more useful as a sunsheltet</div><div><br /></div><div>So here we are all setup and with the gazebo in the background.

It's the colours of the two fluids that are coming from the area just inside the drivers side front wheel </p><p>The first is power steering fluid and is coming from this which is the Adwest Steering box which I have just removed. </p><p>There are a couple of things to note when doing this (which I learned the hard way) which are that the bolts holding the steering column in need to be fully removed in order to get that our and have room to manoeuvre this out, and the pipes on the top are most easily removed with a Crow Foot socket (something I had never used before). After that it's just a job of removing the bolts holding it in and separating the ball joint on the drop arm with a splitter... </p><p>Copious amounts of the pink stuff are released when you take the pipes off so I'm glad not to have done this on the new drive at home </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0D3NGL0ziqhFa7Uy0fqNBvCHWlOxCALGCLQra23berxXFvtxkeZJEZ6QI4-AO6iPch4b1cqkdPmsemKMwb-hLOSPOBYjGj8fjUKvIup3tEwVSFxJSu61uDn2UyCRpOx7-4sp2pmJRsbU/s1600/Steering+Box+1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0D3NGL0ziqhFa7Uy0fqNBvCHWlOxCALGCLQra23berxXFvtxkeZJEZ6QI4-AO6iPch4b1cqkdPmsemKMwb-hLOSPOBYjGj8fjUKvIup3tEwVSFxJSu61uDn2UyCRpOx7-4sp2pmJRsbU/w640-h480/Steering+Box+1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">The black is coming from this which is the oil cooler pipe leading to the oil cooler built into the radiator.

There is simply not enough detail in them to see how anything is put together and is therefore taken apart. The best document for this (as has been for almost all the work done in 2020) has been the <a href="http:shenstone.me.uk/katy/Defender_Parts_Catalogue.pdf" target="_blank">Defender Parts Catalogue</a> a copy of which I have made available via the link (Warning if you are on limited data this is a 28Mb file!) <br /> <p></p>Shenstonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10998696949225344945noreply@blogger.com0
