Large syringe - where to buy one
I'm looking for an above average size syringe, without needle and not for any medical purposes, but to suck out fluid from a power steering reservoir under the bonnet of my car. I have been advised that to renew this fluid in the system, I should remove the current contents with a syringe, refill, wait a few days, do this again and so-on perhaps 5 times which will probably refresh the whole system.
My question is therefore, does anyone have any ideas where I might get one?
Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. My wife suggested there or perhaps a vet. Being a man though I went for second opinions!

Re: Large syringe - where to buy one
The OP wants a larger syringe so 10 ml is not big enough
He needs at least a 100 ml syringe , probably available from the pharmacy, or even worth enquiringly at a garage
Also available online- worth a try
Just looked, you get them on ebay

Turkey baster from your good old Chinese shop, very cheap.

Re: Large syringe - where to buy one
I also thought of a turkey baster. But then I thought of Brookside and tried to think of something else. (And I didn't even see that episode, I just remember the talk...)

Re: Large syringe - where to buy one
Most pharmacies have syringes of 100ml or can ordre one for the next day; also your local agricultural coop may have even larger ones, as I've seen 300ml ones on farms.
Amazon have one with its own plastic pipe. Jeringa + 80cm tubo de plástico grande de plástico de 100 ml a mano: Amazon.es: Hogar

Would it not be better to undo the feed hose from the resovoir where it joins the rack?

Also that fluid will soften most plastics, turkey basters are often stainless steel and silicone.
