Brake Fluid Reservoir

[Richard2005 2]

afternoon.

 

I need a new brake fluid reservoir as the cap on mine is held on with a cable tie (!). I've looked and googled but can't find one. Does anyone know if alternate reservoirs fit?

 

Are there any other options here?

 

As I don't know when the fluid was last changed, was hoping to tick both off.

Thanks in advance,

Richard

Is the level sensor still available?

Bottle and sensor are all NLA.

They're all now obf (owned by farmer)

 

Only joking, im surprised they stopped selling (or making rather) such an important part

[farmer 328 1 Cars]

I have one bottle and a cap in a bag lol.

 

Bottles are near impossible to get, caps a bit easier.

[Slo 283 1 Cars]

I have at least 3 spare in various degrees of caked in s*it lol

[farmer 328 1 Cars]

Ha, so do I, but they get put in the naughty area of the loft where no beast go's

I tried for one of these a few months ago as they were still showing as available on service box (they still are 4635 50 & only ~ £6.50 new) but my local Pug dealer (who is usually very good getting parts) couldn't get me one.

 

I managed to clean an old one up very well so have used that where I'd have preferred a new one.

I had a new one about 4 months ago.

I only bought the car a couple of weeks back and had every intention of keeping it original/standard. If I can't source a used one is the only option a 306 brake upgrade with 306 master cylinder and reservoir? Seems an expensive solution to a £6.50 problem

 

 

Anyone want to sell me a spare standard reservoir and lid?

A 205 bottle fits on a 306 MC, so would think a 306 bottle would fit on a 205 MC.

 

Only thing is you might need to cut off the extra fixing tabs, and check the height, but from what I've seen I think you'd be ok.

 

Probably best to renew your MC bottle seals at the same time if its old..... If that's possible

[Richard2005 2]

Thanks, doboy. Will give it a go.

If you need them I think I have a spare used bottle and cap

I've got a spare bottle that's cleaned up quite nice after putting it in the ultrasonic bath. I don't need it now as a very helpful Scottish farmer located a new one for me!!!

You were lucky to get one as there is still a small queue of people still wanting a new one.

 

If I knew his part would of attracted demand would off bought a squad last year....

[Richard2005 2]

Dizzee & Timoth123 - yes please, how much?

[Dizzee stuff 33 1 Cars]

Dizzee & Timoth123 - yes please, how much?

I would have to dig them out to make sure there ok but £15 posted ok

Makes me selling new ones for £15 sound cheap if that's the used market.

I'm using the 406 reservoir on mine

not given he's selling the level sender too.

[farmer 328 1 Cars]

If it works that is as most don't.

 

That makes a new bottle and cap £60 eh Mei !

[Slo 283 1 Cars]

are the caps worth a lot then? like i said ive got 3 or 4

[farmer 328 1 Cars]

About 30 quid retail when sold.

 

Don't charge anymore than half that or the likes of Mei will get his panties in a twist.

sorry for the delay in responding.

So... Who has a bottle and cap they would like to sell me? Think it's the cap I need more than the bottle.
