Brake fluid reservoir..... horsebox

[Louby]

Any experts out there?
Was just hijacking someone elses post and thought I better start a new one instead.
Just wondered where you check the brake fluid levels on a 7.5t lorry. Was told after a corroding pipe on mine was replaced that there are reservoirs for both front and back wheels????
Please be gentle, I havent got a clue and thought it was something worth knowing.

On an Iveco?? about half way down the chassis on top of the air tanks.....

Ahhhh perfect11s, thankyou again.
Yes its the Iveco, just how did you remember lol!!
Nothing wrong this time

just thought it worth knowing as my pipe did corode and leak and another H & H seems to be having a similar problem.
Got me thinking that I dont even know where to check it

I will be checking mine now, not that I know where the air tanks are!!

Scary how useless I am isnt it lol

At least you asked.

The scarey ones are the ones that dont bother!

Presume that you have it serviced at an HGV dealer/ repairer or reputable Horsebox dealer. Not ness. an approved Iveco dealer, if not would suggest its done prior to its MOT.

Might be worth looking at the maintainance section of a specialist horsebox website like www.horseboxworld.com

Thanks for that. It was serviced about Feb 09 and has just had its MOT. Do they check the levels at the MOT??
I was only asking as I thought it was worth knowing. My wagon came with no handbook so its been a learning curve finding out the things I need to or should know.
