Have a look at Disco Sport sales/accessories brochure which can picked up from a main dealers showroom to see what goodies are available for that vehicle, you’ll then have an idea on what is available in the ‘aftermarket accessories’.

My parents have a 2017 Sport in grey - looks great and its their favourite car they have owned (previously was the Freelander which they still have) So I am wanting to style it up a bit with some black trim, any after market essentials? Where...

Because there is a filter built into the reservoir which can not get changed, and they need changing every couple of years or so, i doubt yours as ever been changed or as it? and it's best way to bleed the system.

@Freddie17 thanks - i will get one ordered

The reservoir has a filter in it that can get clogged over time. It’s good practice to change it at the same time, for peace of mind - they are not expensive.

Great thank you - why would you recommend changing the reservoir too?

That is the only way to do it in my opinion, wheels only have to be off the ground by a few inches, so easy to do, also if i were the OP i would be changing the power steering reservoir at the same time. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303324138763...

Not sure if this is the recommended way to do it. But I would jack up the front of the car and turn the steering lock to lock a few times without the engine running. once you are happy that the level is not going down, then that should be the air...

Have a look in this thread - covers a lot of it for you, with pics courtesy of @Arctic2. Do not start it before you have purged the air… have a read below; https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/p-a-s-problem.359168/#post-4857686

Freddie, thanks - think I will just call into JLR on the way to work tomorrow if they are open and grab some oil Where would be the best place in the car to bleed it from?

Assuming a F2 from your signature, you need to use the correct spec fluid - CHF202. You can easily cause damage to the power steering pump otherwise. Edit; And be sure to bleed it correctly if required - before starting it. They are very prone...

Compared to the cost of the other parts (pump and rack) I did not think it was worth trying to scrimp. But any oil is better than no oil so perhaps use the stuff you have to flush it out?

Thanks mate - its just getting there will be the problem to get a bottle - will try tomorrow and see if parts is open early

The correct Land Rover fluid is green which is a good quick check. Don’t recall it being expensive.

This is what I have bought but not much info on it https://www.millersoils.co.uk/products/central-hydraulic-fluid/

Lads In the middle of replacing a section of the power steering pipework so obviously need to top up/replace the oil I have bought Millers CHF but from research, a CHF 202 oil is preferred - would the Millers do or do I need to get a CHF 202...
