He'll probably take the cap off.
 As long as the button works it shouldn't be a problem.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

If you un-screw the cap and lift it, it has the same effect as draining or taking fluid out - it lifts the sensor/float out of the fluid.
Also if you have an extra earth running off of the sensor (as per Sierra/Granada) then that when connected to the handbrake switch will do the job of
push the button to test light by pulling the hand brake on and off.

jgg,the lid is just a lid,the float is the other side of the container,the SVA says the tester must be able to see that the float floats and the
switch works

He will have to poke the float down with a nice clean bit of wire to activate the float switch and see the dash light come on, then confirm the button
tests the same light.

Yes but to do that he'll have to take the lid off, see above.
