Brake Fluid Reservoir

[Stokebloke1]

Hi all...

I need to source the above for my MK1 Pre Serp Chim..

Any advice on what the part is???

Easy enough to swap???

It's from a Fiesta MK3 i believe

Very difficult to obtain. Motoclan do a replacement attached to the master cylinder

I had to take the pedal box out, pig of a job.

I have a used one in very good condition if you're interested.

Holy st, £250.

The problem is that it's such an arse of a job you'll probably want to change the booster too whilst you're there.

Is the reservoir cracked and leaking or something? I'd be trying to repair it first if it were me

It has become an expensive thing to do.

I had a leaking clutch m/c, which eventually became empty.
But when I had to take the job on, I discovered the brake m/c was leaking into the servo, which was also banjaxed.
Replaced the whole lot, as well as replacing the slave cylinder and repainting the pedal box.
Easily over £500, but I now have hydraulics I can rely on, and I won't need to go in again for a good while.

That’s what I ended up doing whilst the pedal box was out, as I never wanted to do it again.

The brake fluid reservoir was split on my car, probably due to the under bonnet heat over the years.
