Hi All,

Just had my 07 RRS in for a small oil leak under the rear of the car. Turns out its the Active Anti Roll Bar leaking. Being quoted £2500+ for this.

Do you know if its worth getting a used one?

Do i just need the LR024073 part? Ive found one at a garage that has come off a 3.0. Is this just a straight swap?

If this completely drains of fluid, what is the risk? Reason i ask is its leaking now, but i need to drive it to to pick up the part and then drive it to a garage. Is it safe?

I'd fit a new OEM bar. £600 plus fitting. At least then you know you're starting with a good item rather than an unknown second hand one.

If the system drains of fluid, the pump won't be happy. If you're picking up your second hand unit from a LR garage, perhaps get them to top up the fluid when you're there as a "get you home".

It's worth noting that a little fluid goes a long way when it's leaking so it can look like a whole bottle of oil has been thrown around where in reality it's probably less than a few spoons full. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Thanks mate. Understand the pump will run dry, but is it still safe to drive?

It'll be rolling around in the corners but if you go gently you should be ok I'd have thought. If the car figures it's unsafe, it'll throw up a red warning light.

How much fluid is left in the reservoir? 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

That was going to be my next question. Where is the tank, and i will keep it topped up for now.

It's on the left hand side of the engine bay, near the front, and it's got a yellow cap on it. The other yellow cap - over by the coolant header tank - is the power steering reservoir. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Just checked there, and its well below the min level (about 1cm). Can you get any ACE fluid?

We always replace the pipes when doing a rear bar. We're about £900 less than your quote though. Maybe ask for an itemised estimate

I'm hearing good things about Lucas Stop Leak Fluid also. Have you heard anything on that as a quick fix?
