Afternoon all!

So yesterday I noticed that my pas fluid was burnt, I believe it's a common problem, so I decided to flush it through today with some new fluid but I couldn't get the air to bleed out! Steering is heavy and juddery, and the pump sounds horrific! Anyone got any ideas?

Did you definitely give it enough full turns whilst you was refiling it up?

I think so, so I had the return line in a bottle then got someone to go from lock to lock as I was flushing it through with new fluid, then once it was returning clean fluid I stopped, put the return line on then bled it with the cap off and turned from lock to lock, but it wouldn't go smooth and stayed notchy 🤔
