If your asking these sort of questions , take it to a garage :quiet:

looking from the front of the engine, its on the rear left, hidden down the side/back, yes dot4 brake fluid from hlfords or motor world type place, there is a min and max mark on the bottle, although you may need to clean it because the outside the bottle gets shitty and you cant see them!

I disagree MRBILLYUK, im more than able to do alot of mechanical work on my car, but without taking that engine cover off, its almost impossible to see! even i had to ask! Most stupidly placed resevoir EVER made

I was referring to the question do Halfords sell brake fluid .

Brake fluid reservoir is here . As stated you have to remove the engine cover to gain access .

Unless you have the 1.2 and can just unscrew the cap

Why did they put such a vital thing, where you cant see it or the max/min levels?
