Ok, I'll try and simplify it further as you can't just add fluid. You need to check the initial levels first:

Lower the suspension with car engine running.
Leave it running for 4 minutes.
Switch engine off.
Check levels are between the 'a' and 'b' marks shown below:

If the level is below the 'a' and 'b' marks top it up slightly so that the fluid IS between the marks.

Now follow this procedure to bleed the system:
  • Start the engine.
  • Wait for the vehicle height to stabilise.
  • Place the suspension height control in the "HIGH" position.
  • Place the suspension height control in the "LOW" position.
  • Turn the steering from lock to lock in each direction.
  • Stop the engine.
  • Check the LDS fluid level

Hi Marc
I didn't top up the fluid, however I can see the noticeable difference after performing bleed. The ride is better now.
I might buy more fluid and replace all the fluid from reservoir so it at it will have 50% new fluid in it.
