Maintenance
23
With the car on a level surface, and without
disturbing the filler cap, check that the level
of fluid is at or just below the ‘MAX’ mark
moulded on the translucent reservoir body. If
the level is not apparent, wipe the reservoir
top and cap and around the luggage
compartment access hole to remove all dust
and dirt. Unscrew the cap and lay aside on a
clean newspaper. Beware of brake fluid
dripping from the cap on removal, as this
could have a detrimental effect on the
surface finish. Ensure that no dirt, water or
foreign matter enters the reservoir while the
cap is removed.
If the level of fluid is more than 25 mm (1 in)
below the bottom of the filler neck, or if the
level of fluid has dropped rapidly over a
short period, it is possible that fluid has
been lost from a malfunction, and likely that
air has entered the hydraulic system at the
master cylinder. The car should not be
driven until the malfunction has been
investigated and corrected.
The level of fluid will drop slightly, however,
as the brake pads wear. If the reservoir
requires topping up, use DOT 4 hydraulic
brake fluid to bring the level of fluid up to
the ‘MAX’ mark, and replace the filler cap,
tightening securely.
Checking Clutch Fluid Level – Fig. 3
The clutch fluid reservoir is located on the
front bulkhead next to the fuel filler neck.
For access raise the front luggage
compartment lid and pull out the large
grommet adjacent to the fuel filler cap Fig 3.
Wipe around the top of the reservoir and
cap and surrounding body to remove dust
and dirt before unscrewing cap. Ensure that
no dirt, water, or foreign matter enters the
reservoir while the cap is removed.
If necessary, top up the reservoir with DOT 4
hydraulic fluid to bring the level to within 10
mm of the bottom of the filler neck. Replace
the reservoir cap and access grommet.
Checking Windshield Washer Fluid
Level – Fig. 4
The windshield washer reservoir is located
within the body double skin at the left hand
front corner of the front luggage
compartment Fig. 4. The reservoir should be
kept topped up with clean water and a
proprietary windshield washer additive (or
diluted methanol) to improve cleaning of the
glass and remove grease, etc.
Notice:
Do not use radiator anti-freeze, oil, gasoline
for any oil based material in the washer
reservoir.
