Cherrz Kev have ordered filter I was just worried about some articles I noticed saying the threads broke up in housing when you removed the plug sometimes. |

Where do you guys buy the filter and fluid from... LR Dealers (hopefully not at their prices)? |

So how do people drain/replenish the ACE fluid?

Drain it out with a little 12v pump. Kev

How much do you take out at a time though? And won't that introduce air into the system?

You can change it from below through disconnecting the lines to the ARBs. That could introduce air into the system and is more of a pain to do on the driveway.

No mention of having to use a computer in the manual, you bleed it using the same principle of pressure bleeding a brake system, unfortunately you do need one of these special tools 204-591-02 (£400.00 from L/R so no surprise there then) to open the solenoids to allow the fluid through to the bleed screws, unless you could improvise one without to much difficulty just need to energise the solenoids with live feed to open them. As said not sure it would be very easy without a pit or ramp.

I empty the reservoir using a syringe and short length of hose and refill it several times running the engine for several minutes inbetween refills (to circulate fluid) at every engine oil change.
