It looks as if my steering gearbox has given up. When it has been cold I have not had power steering. After a few minutes its come to life. This morning I changed the pump with a spare. The oil was black and sparkly so that's not good. After changing the pump nothing is better.
The Jeep is a left hand drive TJ and to top it off I have an AGR steering box for a bit more power.
Does anyone have options or ideas for overhaul or am I stuck with going to another standard box if I can find one?

Can't find the link at mo but it was via googling
Drilling TJ steering box for hydro assist....
There is a 20 min vid on how to rebuild and if you want do the drill and tap .....you can always cap them I guess until you want to go hydro assist.
Crown do a repair kit with the sector shaft inc ......so a quick search revealed...
Maybe the AGR box is the same as the factory one just larger ports??

I think the AGR box has one size larger piston so I am not sure what kit I would need. The piston maybe the same size as a Chevy if my memory is correct.
If I did it myself I would definitely drill and tap if for hydro assist even if I just plugged them for now.

A common swap in the US for LHD is the larger box off the Dodge Durango with (snow plow option). Might be worth a look at rockauto for cost of that option.
