Drain from where? Think I need to get this done this w/e before something fails horribly.

Lift the bottle up in the air and undo one of the clips and remove a hose. That'll drain most of it out. You then need to get at one of the bottom hoses on the pump and drain the pump out from there which isn't easy.

See ya

So I could syphon the bottle and then drain the pump?

I woudl syphon the bottle, and fill up, run for a bit and let it mix, and then repeat a few times, uses more fuild but saves ****ing around wiht the ****ing gay reno clips.

by the time you have done that a few times any remaining fuild will be so diluted it won't be too much of a problem

Noisy? Too sodding right. Sounds like metal grinding itself away first thing in the morning, and then groans the rest of the day. I suspect teh pump is on it's way TBH.

Mine sounds like metal grinding the first turn either left or right.

Got some slick 50 at lunch, checked PAS reservoir looked to be full, although I can't see any min max marks, I might replace the fluid anyway, was gonna do it lunners way by syphoning out the fluid, how the funk do I go about doing that?

Length of plastic tubing and suck till its almost at the end and then let go and hold it below the level of the tank.

Other option is to buy a syphone pump, which elinates the chance of drinkign pas fuild

hmm second option is more appealing, will Halfrauds do this shit? I'd imagine they do or some sort of large school type pippet thigy
