PAS fluid change... Alone
« on: 12 December 2012, 12:15:59 »

Hi Guys

I'm a billy no mates, at the moment  :P and need to change the PAS fluid on my Jag (and add in an additive from Jaguar - Tech Bullitin to cure squeaky steering!)

It looks like it'll be easy enough to do this in the usual way, EG, disconnect the return, put it in a jug, and run the engine whilst going from lock to lock, to get the oil fluid out, whilst topping up the reservior...

But... this is kinda a two man job. Other than arm extensions... any ideas for how this job could be done alone! ;D

Thought not..... I'll have to get SWMBO to assist when she's not at work :D
