The engine has to be running at idle. :whistle:

Lock to lock with the wheels off the floor or you will dig your drive up, or wear flats on the tyres. ;)

When the fluid isn't foamy, it is done B)

Keep topping up as required.


I remember doing this on an old Rover once, with the reservoir part of the pump, and for convenience I left the lid off. All the foamy fluid shot out and got everywhere. :ohmy:

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)
