How many lites of fluid in the brakes/clutch ?
Discussion
Simon, that question is a bit of a worry 
Normally if someone is upto doing a brake system oil change, they would know that the brake and power steering fluid are totally different but we all have to learn somewhere
You wont be able to change the clutch fluid completely as its an hard job if you have not got a car lift, but you can help by changing the clutch fluid in the reservoir.
It will be black if its not been done in a while, very simple job to do, and worth doing every 600 miles of driving as it will go black really quickly as it mixes with the rest of the oil in the sytstem, I have done mine six times now in last 3000 miles and its keeping very clean and clutch feels so much better now, no stickyness or difficulty in changing gear, well worth doing!
Brake systen oil change is a lot more time consuming and a lot easier if there are two of you if you have not got an "easybleed" contraption, you also need to get the car off the ground and all the wheels off as you need to get at all the bleed nipples.
I have not changed my brake fluid yet but will be when weather is better when I change my discs and calipers.
Not done the steering fluid either but will be when I fit my new stainless steel reservoir
To be honest, if you have never done a brake fluid change before, I would take it to the fish, last thing you want is to get air in the system.
PM me if you need any help, we can always chat on the phone which is much easier.
