fill it with fluid, rack the steering back and forth lock to lock and top up fluid as required until the funny noises go away?
That's the way pretty much all systems are bled, afaik.

Yea that's what I thought so I jacked the front wheels off the ground topped up the resivour turned it lock to lock (engine off) bout 5 times lock to lock topping it up as it went down then started it up and done it it's making a loud noise and the fluid in the resivour is bubbling and bubbles over.

The O ring at the pumps suction inlet can fail and cause air to be drawn in, making the system noisy.
If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?

repeat the process with engine running - if that fails, then as RX25SE says, there's probably a leak somewhere and air is getting in.
