Brake fluid help?!

[drc12369]

Hi, could someone post a pic of the brake fluid reservoir? I think its the one top left. If so mines just below min. As a cheap option can i just open it and pour new dot4 fluid in? As u can see i dont have the skill for a bleed,flush and change.

Yes it's top left and its fine to top up. But it's only low because your pads have worn down. Just fill it to the mark

Cheers. Ill fill it first, then fit the new rear pads the week after. So im guessing the red antifreeze goes in the big clear bowl on the right with the blue screw cap then? Best i do that too.

Yes that's right

Mobil or Castrol? Any difference? And did u mean fill to min or max mark before i put new pads on? Thanks again

Doesn't matter if your just topping up.

Fill to the minimum mark.
