I had a pretty good brake upgrade today, simply by replacing the brakefluid.
After a good inspired 160 miles run around the hilly countryside ( all on private roads of course
) I found that my brakepedal was a bit spongy and did not have the firm feel as before.
Well I bought the car as being seviced 2000 miles ago, but opening the brake reservoir I looked into a black hole. The old brakefluid was darkbrown and there was some dark grey sludge as well. Out came the old brake fluid with the help of an old syringe and in the new one. I had bought an eezybleed years ago and it worked a treat. now the pedal has the same firm feel as before, even better and even a very hard trash through the hills wouldn't change the feel. maybe you should try this before going for the next upgrade. I am really happy with the result and can only strongly recommend.

Hello Ian,
I received my dye by post this morning, I had to order it through the internet to get the Dylon stuff which is usually not avaibale in Germany. I will do it over the weekend if the weather is bad. At the moment I enjoy driving the car so much, that I do not want to loose the last good days of the year waiting for the stuff to dry.
Mind you talking to my friend in Bristol I think you should sell all your chims and get Cerberas instead, this august certainly was no good for open sportscars in the UK.Over here in the middle of Germany the weather was not really sunny, but only 2 nights of rain the last 5 weeks.
just to rub some salt....
