I also installed an inline filter from the cooler back to the reservoir and it has seemed to do the trick. I will run it for about 250 miles and clean out the filter. I would suspect that there will be a bit more of this silver flake in it.

I contacted John from BW and he is looking into my post and I have linked yours as well. Though its one of those fluke things both cars lost power steering after installing this reservoir, me with in minutes and never leaving the garage. Suspected that the BW reservoir was contaminated from manufacture.

Again thanks for taking time out of your day to tell me your story.
Glad you’re back up and running! The steering stuff is quite frustrating….ruined a whole trip to COTA for me…….

If you don’t mind, please report back here if you hear anything from BW.
