I'm in the process of a body-off chassis repair. The brake fluid reservoir proved to be impossible to disconnect/dismantle and I need a replacement. As far as I'm aware the part is sourced from a Ford Sierra. I've tried my local Ford parts dealer (using the reference on the 'Alternative 'S' parts page) but they don't recognise the number listed on there. Would anyone have any idea where I might get hold of one, and/or the part number for the correct replacement part?

Fiesta as stated above...

see this http://ketvrin.myphotoalbum.com/view_photo.php?set...

also look at this site to compare what part numbers are on what models so you can see the equivalency... take particular care to note the diameter and length of the master cylinders to ensure you have enough swept volume of fluid to fully actuate the slave cylinders ...

ebay is the cheapest source once you know what you want...

good luck

Depends on the centre bore size the fiesta would not fit mine but a the ford courier van would. it also had the pipe conectors in the right place.

Thanks for the offer - the reservoir is the only bit on mine that's okay!
