supra_ufo Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I definately want grey but not sure which one. If I cant decide come the day of spraying it will be Grigio Telesto 0098. Edit: I believe this is the one - This colour looks amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 NOT HAPPY! How the F! do you bleed the power steering? So after re painting the engine bay getting it looking all nice and clean so far ive had half the rad coolant sprayed all over the bay and now half the power steering fluid over everything! Now I have to strip everything back out and clean it all looks a bloody mess! Anyone know how to bleed the steering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Fill the resevoir up! give it some good lock to locks and it should self bleed! does take a while though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 Fill the resevoir up! give it some good lock to locks and it should self bleed! does take a while though With the engine running and cap on I take it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nicholas Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Bleed the steering? I asume you have strange noises coming from the power steering? before doing anything sit stationary and full lock right, full lock left. full lock right, full lock left over and over again. You'll find this should eliminate the noises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 No cap off. That will let the bubbles out. Just keep lock to locking for a bit then replace the cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nicholas Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I've seen people use an old cap with some silicon tube through the middle and into a bucket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyBoy7 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) Mate , cap has to be off , otherwise the air has no where to go ! Do it slow lock to lock !Or You build pressure and when you take the cap off it will just happen again ! Cap off all the time until done Edited November 16, 2012 by RoyBoy7 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap off all the time until done I had the cap off then started the car and walked round the front to find the fluid squirting 2 foot in the air and by the time I switched the engine off if was everywhere.

listy Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I've seen people use an old cap with some silicon tube through the middle and into a bucket? This would work. Air can escape, and overflow is directed. Sounds like a solution to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 how about have the cap in place but loose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 Is it drivable now? Can't wait to see it finished! Yep all drivable Just missing the lights and trim etc. Really tossing between lambo grey or white now and only got a few days to decide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan294 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 White would look awesome with the wide arches. The Lamborghini grey would make it a bit more individual though! Sure it'll look smart whatever you go with dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Grey gets my vote hands down!! white is too common and its nice to be different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
