Flushing Brake Fluid

[jcas]

Hi Chaps,

Is there any recommended way of flushing out old brake fluid? I have a car that has been standing for over a year, and the brakes weren't that good when it was laid up. First thing I want to do is get some new fluid in there but can it become contaminated with the old stuff?

Cheers,
James

So no problems if the old and new fluids mix then?
