Was scrollin thru the log book etc few days ago...
And it says the brake fluid was changed 2 yrs ago and is due in sep
Service is due in 5000 miles
Obv yes brakes are pretty important, and the beast does need them to work well when decellerating from 165mph when racing ///m's
But ive got a pretty expensive few months ahead with a holiday, insurance renewal, gf's bday and then xmas so serive will be done in new year
What should i do about brake fluid? Wait till then? Do it now? How much?
thanks :D
 
To keep you FSH you need to get the brake fluid changed, get an Indi to do it and it shouldn't be to bad.
 
Mine was a good few months over due and had no problems with warranty. Had the car in the dealers twice for warranty work even while the car was saying it was due and they never even told me it needed doing.

It would only affect the warranty if the claim was to do with the brakes, and then they would have to prove it was because of the lack of a fluid change.

But IMO not worth missing as it could make it difficult come time to sell and the buyer will use as a bargining tool
 
Woots iirc you have the 2.0 that has traditional drum barkes operated by rods. You need only a Whitworth spanner to adjust them. If the shoes wear any blacksmith can river new asbestos shoes on for you.No fluid worries :rofl:

Seriously thouhg as noted above I'd get it done. 5,000 miles is probably 6 months hence and it will leave a hole in the history that for £50 an indy should sort it.
