LR000578 is a power steering fluid reservoir specified for Land Rover Freelander 2, also marketed as LR2. The compact translucent tank stores hydraulic oil for the steering circuit and allows the workshop to monitor level and fluid condition without opening the system unnecessarily.
Fitment information commonly covers Freelander 2 petrol configurations, but market and VIN conditions can change the steering layout. The safest purchasing method is to combine the OE reference with vehicle data and photographs of the removed reservoir.

Hydraulic Reserve for Freelander 2 Steering
During steering input, the pump draws fluid from the lower reservoir connection and sends pressurised oil through the rack. Returning oil enters the tank where bubbles can separate, helping maintain a quiet and consistent hydraulic supply.
LR2 Model and Engine Confirmation
LR000578 is catalogued for Freelander 2 / LR2, including selected 3.2-litre petrol vehicles and later 2.0-litre turbo petrol applications. Use the VIN and engine record to check the relevant production break before approval.
Cap, Outlet and Mounting Comparison
Confirm the black upper cap assembly, translucent cup diameter, bottom outlet position and small mounting feature against the original part. These details are more reliable than colour because aged fluid can permanently stain the removed reservoir.
Leak and Aeration Troubleshooting
Fluid around the cap, a wet lower hose, pump whine or bubbles after turning the wheel can indicate overfill, hose leakage, an incorrect fluid or air entering the system. Diagnose the reservoir, connections, pump and rack as one circuit.
Specialist Supply and Packing Control
LR01016-001 is intended for Land Rover aftermarket procurement. Reservoirs should be bagged with the outlet protected and supported in the carton so the cap and lower connection are not loaded during international transport.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which model is the main application for LR000578?
The primary application is Land Rover Freelander 2, known as LR2 in some markets. Verify the engine and VIN before ordering.
What fluid does this reservoir contain?
It holds the vehicle’s specified hydraulic power steering fluid. Always follow the Land Rover service information for the exact fluid specification.
Can a leaking cap cause fluid on the tank?
Yes, but excess level, foaming or a return-flow problem can also push fluid toward the cap. Inspect the complete system rather than replacing parts by appearance alone.
