I am in the process of fitting braided brake hoses to my Scoob. Can someone let me know how much brake fluid is required to refill the system?

Cheers,
David.

Be carfull! You must get all the old fluid out and preferably flush it through with Dot5.1 to make sure.

I used 1ltr for flushing and 1ltr for filling. Only £15 extra.
If a jobs worth doing, its worth doing properly! (and all that)
