Can anyone advise please.
I have a Rover 3500 auto 1971 J reg which I have owned since May 1975! Just recently I have discovered a leak in the power steering box (from the underside of the box) I imagine the seals are probably the problem (I suppose it's to be expected being as the car is nearly 40 years old and this is the first such leak) My question is:- how difficult is it to change the steering box, I do have a spare although this has been sat in the garage for 30 years plus, so perhaps the seals in this may have dried out (all the ports are sealed), do I need any special tools? or, as an alternative, would anyone recommend one of these "miracle" cures ? e.g. Wynns treatment or STP etc. The repairs I have carried out myself in the past are such as renewed all wheel bearings, all UJ's, prop shaft, shocks, de-dion tube, rear suspension (just to give an idea of my experience) however, I have never done any work on the steering apart from setting the "toe in".
