Cheers Marc, so does that mean that you should only add fluid to the reservoir when it is fully depressurised and not when at the low position?

No it should be fine on lowest setting as you need to have the engine running when you bleed the system anyway which requires topping up.

Did you find the part number for the hose?

It's 5mm, and in my case I used a 6mm fuel hose. Depressurization was not needed, since it's a return line. Hose seemed fine in the rubber, but was cracked in 4 places - so it was not possible to cut 1cm in one end.
