Anything on a car which carries pressurised fluid can give a variety of issues. You did well there Mark especially with the hydrolastic ..I had a genuine Churchill pump, but that's also not without it's issues .. Whenever I heard "Mr Cockup" knocking on the workshop door I'd hum the song "It Don't Come Easy" by The Beatles.. There must be a modern equivalent 😅.. Car's looking great now it's back on it's wheels and pumped up.
The correct way to do it is use the Liquid Levers pump, the one the dealers used. It vacates as in vacuums the system to get rid of all the air then fill it with the fluid. The way you have done it, there will still be air in it and you will be compressing air effecting the ride. I have that pump, you if
Yes, but i don't have one and they aren't cheap, best next equivalent. If it doesn't feel right once i get it driving then the local mini garage has one so i'll ask him to do it when he does the MOT. 🙂
