I suspect your post helped many people, but as their problem goes away they quickly forget to say anything to acknowledge the person who’s info helped most. This is a bit like the inverse of consumer complaints. You only hear the complaints but never the satisfaction or pleasure of resolution. Funny old world. The worst ones are the humans.

What is all this nonsense when a member just wants to know the brake fluid capacity. Not impressed.

The bottles of the top stuff are usually 500ml, so given the cost, most on here are interested to know what is the minimum they need rather than overbuy. Its not great to just keep brake fluid around and whilst a sealed bottle might be alright, I myself and not convinced I would want to keep it for the next time!

If you feel the brakes don't have enough bite, look into alternative pads. Theyre most likely to make the biggest difference. Fluid only a few months old is highly unlikely to be your issues unless someone is not bleeding your brakes fully, or theres some other reason. You don't need to replace brake lines unless they are shot. You might replace any rubber brake line parts with say Goodridge hoses, but in your case its better to find out the reason for your issue rather than just throwing money at everything. Its a whle since you posted your story, so would you like to bring us up to date and tell us your findings?
