I have only had the Tuscan a few days, but the brake warning light is coming on and off. I have checked the clutch/brake fluid level and it does seem a bit low.

The car has just had a new clutch fitted (not by a TVR garage) and thinking about it the gear selection was a bit stiff compared to other Tuscans I have driven.

I am hoping that they did not top up the fluid enough after fitting the clutch and that there is no leak.

Which brake/clutch fluid can you use in the Tuscan? I am going to top up the reservoir and see whether this cures the problem.

The TVR recommended fluid is Mobil Universal Brake and Clutch Fluid SAE J1703. I know this is used in my car after picking it up from its recent service.

Topped up the brake reservoir, the light has gone out. I just hope I don't have a leak,. Time will tell.
