Hi all,
So a tractor caught the wife's wheel last week..
Sheared off the steering rack and bent the hub ..
All replaced over the weekend, I called LR for some pas fluid after reading lots about the type, it was £23 per litre from hunters in Derby. . I asked how many ltrs I would need and was told to buy 5 ltrs but if I didn't use the 5th I could return it..
Anyway, ended up buying it from a local indy for £15 Pl .. I finished the job and filled with fluid. . I bled the system but it only took just over 1 ltr...
The rack was 2nd hand but I drained it the best I could.. did 100 miles yesterday and the steering was fine.
Does anyone know the full capacity?
I've dine a search with no success and it's not mentioned in the manual..
Thanks!
