Im losing brake fluid in bucket loads, did 7 miles this morning and got through most of the reservoir !!

 

Are there any 'comon' places the lines fail etc???? Before i have to trace the brake lines.

 

Can't see any fluid around the reservoir etc

Almost, ABS last as its closest to the BMC ;)

sorry i thought u did it furthest from the master cylinder

General concensus is that you start with the furthest away from the BMC and work your way to the closest. This would give FL, FR, RL, RR, ABS front and rear.

 

Bleeding the ABS unit is simple - there's 2 bleed nipples on top of it. Remove the cover in the boot, lift the rubber matting on top of it and you will be able to see them :)

 

Right will follow above instructions, cheers Andy;):D

Your basically filling the system/pipes/resevoirs with new fluid and to do so you must remove old then fill with new by pumping it through with brake pedal and pushing out all the air so the system is filled with only fluid.

Have bought a second hand BMC from Z World, will have it friday :)

you really need to clean all the fluid away with water to prevent corrosion that stuff will sort out your paintwork in a few hours.

No they usually just leak into the engine bay!
