Default 2009 5.0 XKR Brake Fluid Flush

Morning all,

I am looking to renew the brakes all round on my XKR and would like to renew the brake fluid at the same time. Could anyone confirm how much fluid I will need to buy to flush the system (in ml or litres preferably as I am UK based where we don't measure in quartz ) as well as what type of fluid is recommended, I presume DOT4?

Thanks,

Russ

Shell DOT 4 ESL is the fluid JLR use. Alternatively, a DOT 4 low viscosity brake fluid that meets ISO 4925 class 6 specification is recommended.

I've found 1 Litre is adequate when using my Gunson Eezibleed.

Perfect, thank you very much, I shall get some ready for the weekend and pray to the gods that the weather isn't too shabby.

Good luck - it's bouncing down 280 miles north of you.
