Brake fluid change

Car booked in to have brake fluid changed tomorrow
as I've had the car 2 and a half years
And can't see it done in the LR service book

Anything to look out for before I drop it off to a standard garage RANGE ROVER 04 TD6

Brake fluid changed baring the drivers rear

As the bleed nipple is rusted tight shut and they were scared they would break it off

But it's made a great improvement to the brakes

I now have to put less pressure on the pedal

A little heat around the seized nipple and tighten it up slightly before loosening it

2010 Range Rover Autobiography 5.0 SC V8 Galway Green

maybe also a good time to consider replacing the rear calipers before they seize up (although that seems to be more S/C related that Td6). The calipers are quite cheap and it will ensure you won't have any problems in the future. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

The TD6 rear calipers do also tend to sieze

That's very true, I changed my rear callipers last year (TD6). Not a big job really though. No longer FF owner but still interested. Present car Jaguar XE
