Hi all,
About to trade the TD4 freelander in for a 2003 TD5 disco, manual 108k which had a clutch change last year..anyhow, one thing concerning me.
Power steering pump is wet on underside which points to a possible problem, but this will be covered under warranty with the sale.
The ACE/PAS resevoir tank though i is almost full seems quite turbulent! like there may be a lot of air bubbling though into it or indeed a fast flow into it.
Is it normal for this resevoir to seem turbulent while stationary or could it indicate a big problem?
many thanks in advance
 
Mine does it all the time, it's just the pump circulating the fluid in the system to keep the pressure up until the valves open as the body starts to roll. Excess fluid is returned to the reservoir much like the diesel systems tank return.
 
thanks Nick, it just seemed a bit volatile to me that's all ;0)
ride was a little bumpy from back-this normal for the air bags? they seemed to raise and lower on the button ok,
cheers
