If you start the car, put it in normal ride height then take off the return pipes on the LHM tank to see if there is an internal leak.(it's best to prise the clips off beforehand). If there is then you will get an increased flow on one compared to the others. On my Activa the first or second pipe nearest the bulkhead leads to the rear anti-sink...

I have found that when raising or lowering the suspension the diplays comes up with the warning message low pressure . Is this normal when carying out this operation.

The reason I ask is because at the weekend I used some 'Hydraflush Super' which I'd bought from Pleiades some time ago, and it looks and smells suspiciously like LHM mixed with petrol. There's certainly a definite petrol smell to it anyway.
Is this likely to be the case, or is there some secret ingredient in it ?
