  • New brakes being fitted, brake fluid and jack stand points?

    Can some one please recomend a brake fluid or tell me what I need to get? I have no idea.

    And also give me some pointers as to where the points are underneath for the.....holdy up things to go? (googled it, jack stands)

    The one in the right

        Its not me! I can only just about add screen wash. But I thought I'd ask you guys for some help. There is no harm with checking, I'd rather not have a squashed Dad.

        Thanks for your input........

          Jacking points on the sills should be marked, I think there's a picture in the handbook giving you a rough idea where to look. As for the axle stands, somewhere solid such as where the lower wishbone meets the subframe.

                Maybe to late but if you look under the car you should see a triangle pointing down along the sill. That is the jack points for lifting.

                    As a matter of interest, why you fitting new brakes WTF?
                    Is it just changing the pads, or discs, or calipers too. Upgade?
