GFS £7.72 per litre down from £19.30. That will do nicely!

Remember if they are going to be doing the work with the car raised off the ground with the wheels hanging freely, then they must ensure they remove the LDS cap beforehand and also to disconnect the battery, otherwise the suspension pump will try and kick in regardless of whether the engine is running or not and that can have consequences. Follow the battery disconnect / reconnect procedure before and after the work:

Battery Disconnect / Reconnect Procedure

When they have completed the work, tighten the screw and complete the battery reconnection part of the procedure. The system will need to be bled properly afterwards.

The LDS fluid must only be checked on the lowest setting and be between the 'a' & 'b' marks below.

The system may need to have 0.5 bar pressure applied tot he LDS tank if the car does not start to rise after 4-5 minutes. Then it is essential to bleed the system: follow my post here with details:
