Helpful thread - cheers guys. Anyone come across similar guides for changing the brkae fluid, ie bleeding the old fluid out and replacing with new stuff?

Thanks!

Great guide - cheers obehave

It reckons that it normally takes 0.5 - 1.0 litres of fluid to bleed a brake system. Does anybody have any experience of the mini system requiring more than a litre? I'm taking it to a local garage to get the fluid changed as it sounds like a faf, and I just want to make sure I give them enough fluid to cover the change.

One liter is more than plenty on anything other than a big fecking truck.......
