Yes I was told this by my Garage. I have had to do it myself with the help of a mechanic friend on the first occaision. With regard to the method you are right Doug that Alko say 6or 7 pumps on the gun, but that has never worked for me. I have had to put much more than that in to get any sign of discharge from the bushes. I tend to do it twice a year to be sure but it is a heck of a job to get underneath.
