Yeh its a fluid. Each side has a pipe running from master cylinder and connects front and back. One side went a few months ago and now the other. Pipe was rubbing on the rear beam and split it

I like to try and earn my own way rather than begging Daddy for money.
But he does pay my wages.

This ones been fantastic. Bought it in June from an old couple with T&T, 50k for £300. Drives perfect and only problems I've had is this one and an air lock which was easily cured. It looks abit bashed but it gets me to work in the week and its a perfect run around while I'm getting my Corsa done. Best £300 I've ever spent. Seriously.

Yeh. Had to drive it to the only place in Kiddy which does them which was 3 miles down the road. Rubbed all the way there and I had plenty of stares!
