    I have just replaced to corroded pipes feeding the ACE ram on the back of my Discovery and now I have to bleed it. Has anybody any experience in how to bleed this system as there are no bleed screws obvious and there is nothing to pump etc..
    Any advice would be really appreciated.

    Would seem all you need to do is give it some hard cornering... but somewhere safe!

    Thanks Slideways. I came across that website you highlightedand I have seen numerous article ranging from the rough road treatment to recallibration by main dealer. Just got the two pipes from main dealer (newgate motors and afer paying fro them up front) Wrong pipes! €200 plus €50 for fluid.

    Just to let you know that I have replaced the corroded pipes on the ACE on my Discovery and ensured that the pipes were full of fluid when I put them on (with great difficulty). I tightened the bajo bolts and bits and bobs and started up and drove up and down a rough lane for a while and topped up the reservoir, drove over the weekend and topped up another 2 occassions and everything is perfect now. Landrover dealer said I would need to get it bled wit the "testbook" it would take 2 hours at €185/hour.
    Bottom line is I have no warning lights and it handles like it should.
