What would be the best way to change fluid? | |

If ur going to put DOT 5.1 in the best way ive found is to suck out the fluid thats in the reseviour and add the 5.1 then when u bleed the brake you'll see when the 5.1 comes through because the fluid is Blue. But u must flush enough through to remove any of the old fluid. | |

Don't Renaults/Citroens etc use a different type of fluid altogether to the DOT Stuff? | |

Just standard stuff but its never been changed. Seeing as am doing the lines am doing a fluid change at the same time. | |

the stuff that Rob posted is expensive - it has a higher boiling point compared to generic 5.1! Are you boiling the fuild? | |

Yea I get mine from a Motorfactors, £7 I think without any discount. Never ever boiled & I changed it after a year as it's a recommendation especially the amount of trackdays I'd done, but it was still the same colour as when it went in. Can't fault it really | |

Halfords have a fair whack off their shelf price with a trade card if you have one or know anyone with one | |

dont bother with designer brake fluid in a road car. Motorfactor 5.1 will be fine (if its glycol based already in there). Dont mix 5 and 5.1 | |

Changed all the brakes on the Meg a few weeks ago and also bought some braided lines but never got the chance to swap them. When i get the change to do them i want to change the brake fluid aswell. |
