    the aftermarket repairers Rovertech, discovery autos ,british parts and service centre all use it and have done so for many many years.
    Does it work?
    I for one believe so and will continue to use it for years to come.

    mmmmmmm......interesting.....I thought that the Moreys bottles looked a lot like the Lucas ones.....is Morey's an Aussie brand or something?..........The yanks on the U.S. Land Rover and Range Rover websites speak very highly of Lucas products!....that's why I tried it and thought I'd share the info on here- coz I've had a few RR's and they ALL! had steering box leaks!......same info applies to the CV spheres.....

    Thanks, good to hear a "long term" usage report!, it ties in with what I read on the Yank websites!

    Yeah but you'd have to be mad to replace them with the same!.......are there better bushes to be had?.....or is it "make 'em yourself"/have them made up situation?....or does anyone do rebuilds using a better bush?

    Those original design bushes are a very short term solution!

    I'm pretty certain that's what the upgraded "guaranteed not to leak for 5 years /100,000 miles" replacement ones in U.S. use

    I'd love to know if anyone in Oz makes em or sells em.....or is it an "order from over there" situation?

    Yeah......good one......you sound like a really nice fella........NOT!......lol

    Seriously though, this is such a coomon problem I'm really surprised that someone doesn't have a proper fix for it here in Oz like the improved version available in U.S........maybe there is and someone on this site might let us all know!

    Im actually being serious on this If anyone on the forum has one, if you can get it too me I'll yank it and find the parts to mod it..

    I'll even consider sponsering the parts for the first one..Then I'll post up the howto with pics on the forum.


    3 things..

    1. It must be still working but leaking
    2. Dont expect it back in a hurry
    3. no guarentees
