Bleeding steering box on a def 90 200tdi ,do you have the engine running and is there any best way to do it .thanx Ray

Xtremeteam:
get a lenght of hose that goe over the bleed npple on the steering box,stick that into the reservoir for the PAS & start the engine,crack open the bleed nipple letting the pas fluid flow round back into the reservoir,go gently side to side a small bit & then tighten the nipple n job done

bombx3:
thanks for that ,the adjusting nut came loose on the steering box and fluid came out so i presume its drawn in air

Range Rover Blues:
Actually unlikely as the only part of the sytem in vacuum is the feed to the pump.  Worth bleeding though to be sure.

umm no better, ,,,,,,ever since they tightened up the steering adjuster up for mot my steering has gone stiff and getting a lot worse each day
