    Default MMMM i guess

    I see you have a double post , so I guess the 1st post was for the front reservoir , and this post is for the rear reservoir ! add a touch of type 4 brake fluid in both tanks , cover the floats ... ( refer too the thread time post 1.07 )

    What he said. The fluid level will look fine, but add some anyways.

    ..The Nanny is extremely sensitive to the level in the container ..... even if it's only a teaspoon of fluid LOW it will trigger the lights etc. ..... I suggest you DON'T pour it from the container.... Brake fluid is almost as strong as ACID and if it gets on some place you can't clean ....... Mike

    You may want to check your pads also. If they are worn you'll be using more fluid.
