As an Ex-Discovery owner I suggest ww.Landyonline.co.za - I was able to source quite a few bits of info from that site.

Re: landrover power stearing problems
Don't refurbish, it will be a waste of time, buy new or second hand.
I got a new one last year for a disco from Albert at British Offroad in Vereniging for a much better price than the other big names in Landy spares.

A 90 defender with a 300 engine or likewise (not the td5, to much electrics) is very capable off-road veichle and actually realible, don't say anything else ;)
