hi and welcome

i cant answer your question as i havent had to do this on a C5 as yet,

although it is the BMC's system that was hydro elastic

The usual method applies, using Citaerobics.

If the LDS container has been drained, the pump needs to be primed by applying a moderate pressure to the vent hole on the containers lid.
Even a bicycle pump may do fine.
