Put a 'T' piece in the turbo pipe and add a bleed pipe.......you must have a Ford Ranger engine fitted

Which engine?

The 2 ltr petrol doesn't need bleeding. :wink:
Take a torch, toilet roll, and tea bags.

Correct,and due to this,it doesnt have a bleed hose. So if yours is the 2ltr petrol,it will self bleed

Well, if you've got the trots you could hang a sheet round the four posts for privacy. :wink:
