I bought a steering box just last week that they said was reconditioned but
I got a bit suspisious when I saw rusty fluid coming out of it .
So I asked a few questions and it turns out to be just your normal breahers
steering box with no work done on it at all. I wonder what would have
happened if I didn't ask them about it.

I have been able to send the steering box I bought back to Frogs Island.
They have agreed to pay all the shipping charges to and from Ireland.
So well done to them and a big plus to find a company who are honest in
their dealings.

Should I get it reconditioned while im at it and then be sure its Ok.????
I ask this cause I will have to get my parts fitter guy to take mine out and
fit this one and he tells me he wants the cruiser for the day.

I am confused here JB (but that is not difficult to do). You asked
for a recon part, they said they had one, you got it and found it
wasn't, they admitted is wasn't, you now send it back, you say 'a big
plus to find a company honest in their dealings'. Hmmmmmm
As for the point if your man should recondition the second 'new' one.
If you are paying him to take the leaky one out, why did you not do
that in the first place and put in a new seal kit and save yourself
the bother of buying a second-hand one that is still a used part and
a potential risk too? I must be missing something here aren't I ?
The cost of a day's labour is something you don't want to repeat too
often. Whilst the radiators are off, can I suggest you check out all
the hoses and belts down there whilst they are easy to get
at? Unfortunately as I don't have the same engine as you I can't
identify exactly which rubber bits need checking, others might.
