I drained (large syringe) the fluid from the reservoir, refilled with cheap ATF, worked it back and forth a bit, redrained, then refilled 100% with this stuff.. http://www.lucasoil.co.uk/products.php?page=products&subpage... Its slightly thicker than normal, but operates smoothly, gives great feel and 30k miles later is still doing its job well..

I used a 50ml catheter mount syringe not the usual luer-lock type as it has a larger port on the tip which makes it easier to suck up thicker fluids.. A bit of silicon tubing on the tip helps too.. You'll need to dump it after use as the oil will swell the syringe's plunger piston and seize it after a time.. Last edited by exitwound on Wed 18 Apr 12 09:55; edited 1 time in total. [23 %]

Just been to my friend who has a garage and he said that the belt is a bit shot, so looking for new belt. In the meantime we cleaned off all the old belt slip spray fluid off the pullys as it was covered in it, also the air pump was stiff, so loosed that off as well and manipulated the tensioner. Took it for test drive and seemed a lot better. Nice drive home - unfortunately in the snow cheers Rob -------------------- Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene
