think i need to bleed the brakes... ::) ;D
got a feeling i put 5dot in it last time which may explane the suden fade, doesnt last as long as 4dot i beleive?
been wondering about goodridge braided lines to replace the rubber flexi bit to caliper, worth it?
7 years old, rubber must be past it by now, and expanding when warm?

Have you done any damage?

dont think so, i always leave the car very close to the garaga door anyway for added security, after a spirited drive home i got slightly less response from the pedal than i'm used to. Smell of hot brakes when i got out of the car.

bloody hell, you had me worried then, :o its 5.1 halfords own, just been out to check the bottle in the garage. :y Says it mixs with other fluids bar 5.0 and should be changed every 2 years ;)

Yep. DOT 5.1 will cause no problems at all. Phew!
How long has the fluid been in there? Due a change?

almost 2 years, but the pistons where not pushed back so some old fluid willl still remain in the caliper. :-/
