If you run out of stock give me a shout, got about the same and another pint in a field around the corner. Bulk discount, naturally
Tempting...

I have two ongoing 'tasks' both of which require copious amounts of 'fluid' for two, (non RR related), issues.
My Grand Cherokee has burst it's power steering hose and, (whilst trying to find a cheap replacement), I have attempted to repair it but the pressure is too great for my, (non crimp), repair!
Fortunately I have sourced a new one for £39 which is much better than the main dealer price of £150, (which is more than the value of my Jeep)!
My other chore/task is the repair to my GT750 Kettle where the front brake lever is virtually at the bar so I purchased a master cylinder repair kit and it is now worse than ever, (I have bled, and bled and bled the brakes in the process)!
Such is life - it is not just Land Rover that presents their customers with lots of problems!
I will go and purchase a litre of both tmorrow!

Ah!
But you are forgetting about my vast 'reserves' of said fluid that I have cleverly 'secreted' all over the garage floor, my overalls, my freshly painted brake calipers and my brake bleeding kit reservoir . . . . .
I believe that I first bled car brakes around the age of 14, (I was undertaking small house re-wires at the age of 11), so I always had the 'aptitude' for such things but either hings are getting more complicated or I am simply getting more clumsy!
The advent of ABS modulators and combined linkage brake systems, (on motorcycles), have added complexity to an otherwise simplistic system and we now have interlinked dynamic suspension, traction control, etc so you never quite no where your fluid is going!
Will no doubt be working on one of the projects later today!
