Good point, I don’t understand why FL1’s are on the same section of the forum as the FL2’s. They are not even similar (BMW vs Ford) although they do both have four wheels and an engine.

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 out of the system

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?

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

I got a reconditioned one (exchange) for £145 a few years back. Worked fine. 4 hours labour to have it fitted.

If it’s not leaking out underneath, then probably filling up the steering rack. Have a look at this

Sounds like you should have gone for a test drive.

Don’t think it matters that much as long as you don’t load it up. Sounds more like it’s drawing Air in or the pump is no good in the first place.

The header tank has a filter in it that can get blocked. As it is easy to change and much cheaper than a pump or steering rack it makes sense to change that first. Normally noisy power steering is due to Air in the fluid or starvation of fluid on the suction side of the pump. First I would...

Just replied to a post on my YouTube feed that I assume was you.

Sounds like they didn’t get to the bottom of the problem. You could do with a way to monitor the current to each of the plugs or even all of them. Think I did a video on testing them a while back. I will have a look later when I get home.

I take it they were all tested and working?

When you say they have been changed, how long ago?
