Which is the inlet and which is the outlet hose on the steering fluid reservoir?

Do you have a picture? I'm trying to think what it looks like.

Will this stuff do? https://ebay.us/m/ZXSZt7 How much does the system take?

Just looking at vacuum pumps before your post lol. Looking at youtube tutorials.

I think the oil might be black looking which indicates its contaminated.

Ah! I've downloaded whatever this is. It came up when looking g for the RAVE. Can you download the proper RAVE on android?

I'm a real numpty. I can't see it?

Cheers! So new fluid to begin with? Which section would it be under in the RAVE?

Is it easier to remove from the bottom if I have to?

Presumably I'll have to crawl under the car to hear it?

Only thing is it's been a year without noise & the sound gets worse when I turn the wheel. I've still not got an engine stethoscope. Annoyed that the noise started out of nowhere.

Right, radiator & pulleys changed and the noise is still there. It had a fanbelt snap on it last year and I pulled as much of the belt off as I could. Could residual belt be causing the noise?

Anyone know a decent OE brand? Changed my old exhaust mounts (which still looked fine) but I thought "better safe than sorry" so put new ones on. Wish I hadn't as I've just looked and they're all torn under a year's use.

From what I could hear from the front grille it was from the middle of the engine. I've ordered a pulley & tensioner wheel along with a radiator. What was the torque value for the bolts, 25NM?

Probably closer to 890RPM in reality.

How difficult us replacing that or does it come off easy enough?

I think I can just post this link. Don't know why I didn't just post it here anyway. Idiot! https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/atawaa18dl33vu2p9mel2/20250806_083841.mp4?rlkey=cfba0jb7a5tyxgjfmjtcqrnny&st=37funf77&dl=0 Pretty sure that's the riddle solved anyway.

Spot on! I'll get onto that. I'll do it when the radiator is being changed. It shouldn't be the pump as I've just replaced that. Likely the idler & tensioner pulley. Thanks lads! Is it safe to drive or will I get done for noise pollution?

Datatek, I've sent you an email with a link to the video I shot including the grinding sound on Dropbox.

Could be. I've got video of it but can't upload it. Just don't know why it's worse when turning the wheel. It's had two new belts and the bearings sounded okay last time I checked. Wonder if they've just gone...
