Open brake fluid
Bleeding the brakes this weekend as part of fitting new calipers. I have an opened bottle of 5.1 from last year, think it's been opened only once since. Is it reasonable to use the opened bottle or shall I buy a new one... ?

Firstly, there should be problem using an opened bottle, so long as the lid was tight, and secondly, as long as you clamp the rear hoses whilst changing the calipers, then you don't need to bleed the fronts, however, it's never a bad thing to do, as it freshens the fluid up a little....
