Brake fluid i think?

 

[TeZ]

Sure??? what type can i top it up with?

Erm, not too sure on that front, I know on my 1.2 16v a hard to see reservoir at the top left of the engine bay is brake fluid, not sure how much the layout changed for the 1.4 16v.

Maybe nip to your local garage/renault/halfords and see what they say, not sure if it matters if you mix the fluid with a different type.

Do the brakes feel any different? I thought you got a warning light for low brake fluid aswell?

Also, might wanna check it's not leaking from the calipers and being thrown up by the wheels onto the bodywork, that would be annoying!

are you on about the one with a little pic like (o) on it?

 

[TeZ]

Yeah thats the one lil yellow cap on it... its emtpy and my brakes do feel soft yes...

Need to get that sorted asap mate, may aswel just get a garage to bleed them completely for you, dangerous to drive around like that so try and get it booked in today if you can.

can i not just top it up???

Neil plant gonna sort me out, £20 the car had been in a smash and to change the cross member and the radiator they had to bleed the brakes but havent done it properly so they are monkeys....Thanks guys
