brake fluid reservoir cleaning
Finally connected all my brake pipes today and went to bleed the system but found that the reservoir from my f reg sierra was full of sludge which i
just cant seem to flush out. So i need either suggestions on how to do this or where i can get a new one for a good price?

Dishwasher! - Whilst SWMBO is out!!!
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Do a SEARCH
There was a huge discussion on this in the last 6 months.
Don't use the Dishwasher!

Who is this super hero? Sarge? ...No.
Rosemary, the telephone operator? ...No.
Penry, the mild-mannered janitor? ...Could be!

I sorted it. It came to late last night. I couldnt think of anything to block the holes but eventually came up with ear plugs
Bunged up the holes filled it with brake cleaner and shook it like a cocktail until it all the sludge had been broken down.
Didnt go anywhere near the dishwasher.
Cheers chaps.

That was antifreeze which tastes sweet so attractive to animals. Brake fluid has the most revolting taste ever, doubt even a dog would drink it
tbh.
