Brake oil service

Post by celica » Sun Oct 14, 2018 9:47 pm

What’s the cost for this in general?

Thinking taking it to my usual trust worthy indi mechanic and supplying the fluid; but what oil and how much?

Normal Dot 4 fluid.  Have a look on Eurocarparts or similar.  Pagid do big enough containers - you only need a couple of litres at the most.
