let us know how you are going on as i have a similar problem

thank for the advice,car is level and had a diagnostic test done the pump or motor is siezed or burnt out and will need replacing, i have sourced one, any pitfalls ref changing , thanks once again

iannez what steps should i take to rectify this.

was LDS. my main problem at the moment is getting the rear to lower as it is locked at full height, the front looks to be at normal ride height, someone said about the leveling device locking at the rear any suggestions on that please

thanks John, youv'e replied to my thread as well as this one it's the same problem, my reservoir was almost emptand wondered where the stuff had gone as i dont see any sign of a leak on the drive

it was orange'ee suppose that could be called pink.

if there was a leak on the antisink valve where would the fluid go? presumeably on the floor, i ask because i have lost fluid but do not know where

High milage diesel c5 10100 miles ex company car bought this car 3 months ago, when purchased it had stood for 3 months ( in manchester ) after running for about 500 miles i started getting a squeak from the rear, mechanic friend had a look and there seemed to be a lot of dry joints, treated with spray grease, this eased this problem , then started getting a metalic knock not all the time but when going over a bump it was if there was so movement and a metal part was hitting metal no sign of anything, so kept an eye on it. Yesterday had another look on and decieded to remove the rear wheels for an inspection around the discs, had the car set at full height and engine on tickover, after about 5 mins we saw what can only be described as smoke or steam coming from under the hood and around the offside wing, the wing was hot as was the hydralic resovouir, engine off remove cover and look in resovoir, it's empty, got a gallon of fluid and it took about 1/2 of it, when pressing the raise/lower button the front which had already lowered stayed put at normal height, but the rear stayed in the air. there are and have been no signs of leaking fluid at any time, so where has it gone also is there anything to be done ie; bleeding to lowe the rear, i just hope the pump is not burnt out, any ideas please
