Escort Cabriolet Club Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Most brake and power steering fluids will do it mate, if in doubt, always refer to your user book or any good motrofactors, as for topping up, one of the peeps used a baby syringe(no needle, its a feeder) it fits in the nut hole and it goes in a treat !!!

Guest Eggsy Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 yup that was me folks!!! & to be honest mate i dnt know why you dont get the original fluid from fords & drain the ful pump & refresh you get more than enuff fluid. I still have a lot left but it cost around £15 better safe than sorry in my opinion!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mick_borthwick Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Great folkes for all the pointers..does the level have to be checked when the roof is down or up??make any difference??.. oh and the other major question that I wish to ask, can the roof be raised up manually in the event of pump failure? :convertible_mazeguy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escort Cabriolet Club Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 There is a metal rod which looks like a tap, if you slacken it the roof can be operated by hand !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
