Noticed while reading through a few topics that some of you have had problems with brake fluid changes noticeable the colour after less than a year, from personal expirence dealer's tech's on bonus do a turkey baster fluid change. i.e. they only remove the fluid from the resevoir using a turkey baster then refil with new fluid. 0.75 labour 5 mins work!!!!! If your ever not sure pull back the bleed nipple dust covers and see if there is any fluid present. if it's dry chances are they haven't changed the fluid properly. worth checking all the bleed nipples. also not sure if Omega manuals have Hydraulic clutches but this should be changes as well if it uses a common resevoir as the brakes. hope this helps :y

I do my own brake fluid changes, and i do a complete system flush, bleed it though the nipple on the calliper until the reservoir is low, top it up and drain it right down as far as a dare.
Always know then you got fresh stuff in their, done wonders for my system :y
