Put the cap back on and turn the wheels from side to side a bit this should get the air out. I changed the power steering fluid on mine and it made a hell of a racket with the cap off (to try and bleed any air out). Put the cap back on and turned the wheels from side to side a few times and it was back to normal.

I was about to say this

Just make sure there's enough fluid in there, then with the engine running turn the steering from lock to lock a few times.

After being a bit scared its really just a case of how much skin and blood your willing to loose the first time you try something.

Plenty on this trip but I learned a bit as well.

happy to change out those two bits now.. shouted quite a bit but there are only cows to hear me

Not that im asking to learn more

+ rep'ed cos I knew sod all about cars before i got my lude, now i can take them apart and rebuild them, it's just having the right attitude and having a cracking car club really helps

Next i wanna rebuild an engine, I don't need to, I just wanna learn

(and happen to have a spare h22 in the garage)
