Hello fellow Rover drivers,
with the winter coming i will try to take care of my badly leaking PAS box on my 1971 3500 Auto. I have a few questions regarding the box:
As far as i understand the main culprits for a leaking box are the two O-rings on the upper and lower side of the box. Is it possible to change these rings in situ without removing the complete box from the car?
Does JR Wadham or some other supplier still carry an overhaul gasket and ring set for the PAS boxes? I can't find that anywhere and would like to buy one.
And the last question: Since i have a good replacement box, i would like to know if i have to check if the boxes are the same. Did Rover use different PAS boxes over the years in their 3500ers?
How much time would a seasoned mechanic need to replace the box?
As usual: Any help is appreciated big time.
Greetings from Germany
