Somehow managed to put about an egg cup of brake fluid in my 5.0ltr rover V8 TVR engine. I have not started or turned it over. Any techies out there to give me advice on what I now need to do.
Cheers

Like a prat I have bought two 1ltr bottles that are same colour and size, one with oil the other with DOT4. Took off filler capand poured, realised straight away and had put in a cap full or so. Consensus seems to be drain, fill and redrain and change filter. Any alternative views - flushing etc? Any advice gratefully received

Thanks all for your input - I will take the advice on the last post and not take a chance. Will drain and change filter asap. Will probably give the flushing a miss. Again thanks
