Please can you advise on the correct level for the float in the LHM tank.
When the suspension is set on high, with the fluid at the correct level, what part of the float has to be between the red marks ?
LHM

As the float has the shiny metal part, and the red part on it.
I assume one of these has to float, between the two red lines in the viewing tube when the suspension is set on high, and the engine left running.

Or check the level using your finger this way :
Release pressure on regulator, then set suspension to lowest (with engine idle on hydractive cars).
LHM level now to be max some 2" down using your finger <hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">
Anders is this method done using the filler hole, or does the cover have to come completely off the container to do this ?
Also releasing the pressure, sounds like you have to take something off, or apart, please explain ? [:)]

You must find somewhere the finger can go ! [:I]
So you take off the filler cap [8D]
Pressure is released on the regulator : a 12mm bolt (only 12mm bolt on the engine [8]) is slackened 1 turn CCW
