Best place to buy a steering box
Looks like the puma needs a steering box.
Recommendations please for best place to buy one.

Thanks

Make sure it's an Adwest though they do sell recons as well
Service was next day, ordered on Thursday arrived and fitted yesterday
Core exchange seemed a bit of a faff so for the £45 or so extra I bought outright
£456 delivered for a lhd genuine box seemed OK
It took about an hour and a half to remove and fit working on the drive with a mate

Good luck

Hmm I am meant to be fitting a replacement box this weekend, but Paddocks have let me down... Ordered on Tuesday, paid for expedited delivery, not arrived. Bod on the phone yesterday couldn't find the paperwork and the lady who deals with it is away until Monday. Not a happy shopper Mad this is not the first time Paddocks have let me down. What really grinds my gears is that I took a days annual leave to get the steering box and pump sorted, what a waste...

That's bad luck Geo, I thought they,d turned a corner ( no pun intended) about 10 years ago I bought off them a recon box, dumped the oil after a few weeks, saw one of the Adwest Directors at I think the Eastnor show and he said that if I fitted an Adwest and it leaked he'd personally change it!
So I ordered the Adwest from Paddocks and they invoiced me for it but sent a recon cheeky bu!!ers, after a exploded on the phone they got the correct box down 9 am delivery next day, but at least it was perfect until I sold it 4 years ago.

Hope you get it sorted, iirc they refunded all delivery and collection costs for cocking it up
