I know this is really basic for most people but can someone tell me the exact procedure for changing the brake fluid on an SR3 ?
Cheers

This may be of help.....not exciting, bit like watching paint drying, but pretty clear >

Something like Gunsons Easi-bleed makes life a lot easier (and "instruct assistant" free) and whatever you do, keep the master cylinder topped up as you go or you'll have to start all over again............dooh! My rule of thumb is to always start at the wheel furthest away from the master cylinder and work towards it....last one to do is the wheel nearest the master cylinder.

Also don't waste money on bloody expensive fancy fluid. Any decent dot 4 or 5.1 will be more than adaquate. I used to run plain old Comma 5.1 and never had an issue

Clip 8 would tend to support Rob's assertion (He's in the black car)
