so im guessing you looked into the resevoir and it was dirty and foul?

well there isnt any way to drain it from the resevoir....

it would be to either pull the bottle out and then just tip it out........by undoing the hoses...

or i generally use a syringe with a tube on the end of it and suck everything out...

there should also be a drain screw in the powersteering coloumn...which is just a bolt that can drain it out of the system.

ill keep you posted...as ill look through the Rb26dett workshop manual...(mine isnt complete though)

keep in mind...when dealerships drain powersteering oil...they generally get lazy.....they may not drain it from the steering coloumn....they just get a vaccume hose...suck it out of the resevoir..and top it up.....

that way it looks like they done it anyhow.

      Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there

      Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.

      Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5

      Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.

      You would need to paint your hardtop again though
