hi
i would like to check and if need be top up BMC
i know the access is through a removable plate under the brake pedal but..
previous owner has stuck sound proof mat there , i have tried to feel the outline so i can cut & remove only whats needed but struggling.
Can some advise where the plate is in relation the the pedal lets say so i can do keyhole surgery on it !
thanks

Re: Topping up Brake master Cylinder
Are you sure it is still being used? If its covered they haven't fitted a separate filler or tank in the engine bay?

Bigdaz posted a shot of the floor area which may help, see: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=10856
suspect you'll need to cut a hole approx. 8" x 4"

Just checking. Seems a little daft of the previous owner to cover it ... unless they didn't know and never touched itbiffsA30 wrote:no obviously if there was a separate filler in the EB i would not have posted the question would I ?

Re: Topping up Brake master Cylinder
it has been known, a valid point gazza82 , but yes i agree it could have had a seperate filler mod as we have seen on this websitegazza82 wrote:Just checking.

Re: Topping up Brake master Cylinder
Out of interest, how long have you been driving the car without having access to the filler? (And not checking or replacing the brake fluid?)
