fluid level

Unread post by imperial21 »

How do i know what level the fluid in the suspension tank should be ( i guess its suspension as its the large tank on the inner wing) ? I have been wondering for a bit and tonight i was driving along and i think the red low suspension came on, it went off again a few seconds later, I am wondering if it got knocked as my phone was sitting by it or if it could be a fault ?
Thanks

There should be a level marker on it, and if memory serves you check with suspension on low.

Yep, suspension on low and the level should be just at the bottom of the 'strainer' in the filler.
I overfilled mine a bit - halfway up the lower slots in the 'strainer' with no ill-effects.

I did have a .pdf somewhere but can't locate it now :(
