Now I am no mechanic but I think the advice being given is sound, as long as the level is correct within the 'Max' and 'Min' marks with both wheels on level ground, should be good to go, I keep mine at about 3/4's up the sight glass.
As Darrsi said over filling could bring another set of problems like blown or leaking engine seals.
Thanks Tommy
And thank you to everyone else who has offered some pretty solid advice.
Since topping her up yesterday i didnt get the problem today, will look to see what happenens but may end up just changing the sensor and seeing if that works.
