Fair enough.

Thanks both for your replies.

How do you go about changing the fluid if it is the wrong one? My mate fitted a rack for me but i dont know which fluid we put in. I will double check but if its wrong then whats the best way to flush it out? Also will the colour of the fluid be green or will it just say synthetic fluid on the bottle?

The fluid is green, but this is true for both the synthetic and mineral.

I'm gonna do this on Saturday morning and my plan is this;

Drain the fluid from the bottle by removing the feed pipe to the pas pump.

Remove the return pipe to the bottle and stick in a tub.

Block the return pipe hole in the bottle (for some reason it's right at the bottom).

Top up bottle with new fluid.

Start engine and get assisstant to turn wheel slowly lock to lock whilst I keep topping up fluid level.

Once flushed through, drain bottle, connect return, top up and bleed as normal
