Thread: How much brake fluid?

Nobody changed theirs themselves?????
Andrew

To completely change the brake fluid, assuming you have ABS, you need the testbook to do it correctly.

If you do it without (unless you short certain wires to open certain valves) you will not get all the old fluid from the system.

When it comes to a brake fluid change I leave it to the chaps who have the testbook.

Andrew, I changed mine in my 93 Disco and used less than a litre and took 10 mins with help from a mate to pump, but I dont have all that extra stuff like ABS and TC so I can do it myself unlike the whiz bang gadgetry you have on yours, I would leave it to the L/R Stealers to do and charge like a wounded bull, Regards Frank.

Hi Ladas
Defenderzook posted the method of changing it a week or 3 ago.
I asked the local mechanic how he does ABS equipped vehicles,the same way DefenderZook posted.He suggested changing the fluid operating the brakes then changing again.
