Default How old is too old for brake fluid and how do you test it? Tyre pressure gauges

'Cheap' Fords? Have you compared prices recently?
For a very long time Ford Uk have used the same brake makers as many
others - including BL.
And BL have produced some cars with about the worst brakes going. Mini.
SD1. Etc.


I had a Mini with no servo and drum brakes all around. Given enough
pressure on the pedal it would stop OK.

I change brake fluid every 2-3 years.
