Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I think you just fill it till it touches the stick on the underside of the cap [img]/smile.gif[/img]

Cool, best check mine too! [img]/smile.gif[/img]

Feels great when it's topped up again, steering is all light and responsive!

Have you checked your trackrod ends? And tyre pressures? Balljoints?

**Cheater2k** · by **Cheater2k** » Tue Oct 04, 2005 8:04 pm

needs new track rods ends, there in the back off the car to fit when i do the suspension and and get it 4 wheel aligned again (rear camber adjustment etc) and with 4 new tyres

ball joints are new., tyre presure is fine, just feels like lack of fluid tbh,.

**Cheater2k** · by **Cheater2k** » Tue Oct 04, 2005 8:06 pm

although, the track rod ends are ok, ive been advised to replace them, and for Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£5 each, im just doing them anyway,

Great stuff they should sort your problems along with the fluid [img]/biggrin.gif[/img]

Hows the rest of the car looking?

you need to run the car a bit, to pump the rpessure up, then turn the engine off, turn the ingnition on then pump the brake slowly untill the whooses stop, then check the level, theres 2 marks on the dipstick one for hot and one for cold pas fluid

unless you do this you cant see the fluid level the bottle should look empty normaly

dont overfill it unless you like washing the engine bay , itl all squirt out of the bottle all over the place when you check the level
