as i have some fairly serious whine coming from me pump, some very hard steering and some frothy froth in the reservoir which i have tried topping up with no success.
there are no visible cracks or leaks in the pipes.

i was just wondering if u guys could tell me how quickly it could damage the pump (is it okay to drive?), and also anything else i should be aware of or tips that could help me.

cheeeeeers.

p.s i take it if the flush dosnt work ill be looking for a pump and a pipe?

Sounds like there is still some air in the system if it's still frothing.

Power steering flush was a real success this time!

and ive got to say thanks alot to the guy that wrote the tutorial which made it very simple the 2 litre bottle lid fits spot on in the reservoir top, i didnt realise just how quickly though the pump was going to push all of that through, luckily i had the other two liters on hand to chuck in but it was a bit of a panic,

its such a relief to get the steering working properly again and glad it was resolved quickly as ive only just got the beast!

yeah i've done it a little while back, it does pump it quite quickly.. Having another person to spot the fluid is really ideal for this, and it's a really simple process otherwise.
