Could be, I did run it and did lock to lock and driven it a little since I'll see how it goes on a run tomorrow 🤔

Wishing I had left well enough alone now FL2 Power steering pump gone noisy after fluid change, no time to change it before road trip so have to cross fingers and hope it'll be ok, Sounds like a bearing but I'll know better when I check it over with a stethoscope on Saturday :confused:

He's too flippin fat and lazy :D

I wish, Got more painting to do while the weather's nice and we're out at Bury market tomorrow so that'll do the job. 30 miles of Motorway each way, Drained just over half a litre of oil out as it was reading too much after replacing the oil with 7 litres of good stuff, still over the mark so...

Charging FL2 battery, was going for a run but it's too hot Only had 11.8 volts due to much locking and unlocking, starting while doing a service, starting while changing power steering oil etc etc. doesn't help that the mirrors fold every time I lock it/unlock it, I forget how to stop that...

Afternoon Lovely sunny day, managed to keep house down to 22c by having blind closed and windows shut. Painted GF's fence this morning, looks better in grey and silver than rusty black and faded gold :D Dog behaved as well, just lay there and baked in the sun. :rolleyes:

Mornin Sorry to hear that , hope it's not too sad as it was expected

Power steering system flushed with 2 litres of new fluid and new reservoir fitted I have a noisy pump, never noticed it before, let it develop for now Cleaned the seats as it's a lovely day and hoovered the life out of the interior, not a dog hair in sight now :D Might go for a run to New...

Mornin Warm but dull for now Had to put canes up as sunflowers are now at about 3 feet and I expect em to get much higher. Putting some steak in slow cooker for tonight Stay cool all :)

Friend of mine used to use carpet underlay, think the stones idea was to keep snails off but different people give different answers :)

Sounds like a plan, either small file and file a tiny flat middle of needle or you can use Brasso to remove tiny amounts off till you get an improvement, could be lean at top end though and rich lower down, that would give black plugs if you're not flat out all the time. Not easy so trial and...

New resevoir arrived yesterday 🙂

You can always file a bit off the BDL if you loose power top end

It's not the plugs, it's either burning oil or tooooo rich

Could use two and rig up a connecting leverage type device, did this once with a handbrake cable

Just syphoned the fluid out of my FL2 Power Steering resevoir and it's definately red. Waiting for green stuff to arrive now then I can replace it.

Mornin Lovely sunny morning Making something to change oil in power steering today, two bottles, some tube etc Off to water plants before it gets too warm Stay cool all :)

Mine ? No cat at all

Checked spare wheel Renewed pollen/cabin filter And sorted some suface rust in boot (more underneath I suspect)

Can't find a cat on my 2009 FL2 , I was under there yesterday 🤔
