Just a quicky!

Where do you top this up? Is it behind the drivers pedal box?

Many thanks

Tom,
Yes reservoir is behind pedal box.
Remove floor mat and decant the fluid into a small jug. You'd struggle to top up using a standard 1L container.

Aye

She sprang a leak around the drivers foot well area. Wasn't sure from where as it was a clear oil patch so not engine oil. Doesn't look to be break clutch oil either (the float popped right out) but the ac is now suspect.it was never strong but i think its weaker now. Ran the car over a 200 mile trip to Goodwood drive in cinema. The Goodwood Hotel was like a car show but that's another story. No leaks at all now so who knows. Possibly the ac seals have sofened up with the oil in the gas and are now sealed again.

The Goodwood secret cinema was well worth it and i believe its coming to Hertfordshire now.
