When doing the right thing feels like the wrong thing!

[Polaris Overland]

So as we prep for our trip trying to get every little niggle / leak sorted I had known for some time our steering box had a slight leak but as it had been getting worse and our trip will be in excess of 12 months I wanted to get it sorted.

Wanting to do the right thing a brand new, not reconditioned, steering box was fitted at a cost in excess of €1K.

1 week later you can see the result it's leaking far worse than the original steering box.

Sometimes it feels like doing the right thing is actually the wrong thing.

Hopefully will be sorted next week.

Been there. Sometimes even pros screw stuff up.

Ugh, that's frustrating.

Nothing more frustrating that fixing something with "all the right parts" only to have them be junk. Sucks!

Sadly not the mechanics fault this is a failure from the factory. But it is frustrating !

And, ya gotta wonder sometimes about the price of some things.

Anything Land Rover Defender related these days seems to be at a premium since they stopped making them. Saying that the price for a Defender in the US is astronomically expensive.

You've got to live with it its a defender thing other people won't get, I think I read on LRO magazine somewhere that someone brought a new LR defender with a clunk sound in the engine bay when he opened the hood he found a spanner.
