Firstly thanks for the helpful info and adjusting the torsion bars worked a treat....it was all going sweet for the last couple of weeks and now the pressures are back to 8.9 front and 8.2 rear. Does this indicate a globe problem generally? I am fitting new rear springs next week and planned to do a fluid change and I was wondering if the old fluid all comes out or should I also do a sacrificial flush? Does the fluid play a significant part in the performance of the system?
Thanks in advance

It's hydraulic, the fluid is the system.

One flush is fine. Give the bars another crank when you put the springs in.
What are your graduations in the reservoir?

Based on the videos I watched it looks ok in the different positions but I swabbed the oil with a paper towel and did the same with the new oil which was a bright pale red and the old was light brown and they both smelt completely different. Hopefully the flush and some tweaking the bars will make a difference.
Thanks for the reply

Hmmm, I think the question about how many graduation lines on the tank going from low to high or vise versa is important. I believe I've read that you want the fluid level to move at least 7 lines or it's time for globe replacement.

Sorry a lot going on at the farm and got sidetracked forgot to answer that. The graduation test was all ok
