Hey all.

I’m doing some purely cosmetic mods under my bonnet and wondering if anyone know of a stainless/aluminium brake fluid reservoir that’ll fit a ‘01 TD5?

Many thanks!

is that the same as the 300tdi where the brake fluid reservoir is just a push fit into the master cylinder with some o-rings? If so I think you will struggle to find a replacement as it is specific to the master cylinder setup.

Yep, it is indeed and I have indeed. That’s why I’m asking here- I was hoping someone knows of an aftermarket one that is prettier.

Why would you want something you can’t see the fluid level in??

There are lids

Why pretty? I’ve been upgrading the second stage components and hoses, had a few things powder coated, and it just looks half finished. My ocd self doesn’t like that.

Hows the chassis ?
Any oil leaks anywhere ?

Chassis and bulkheads all solid and galvanised. Only a very very slight oil leak but that was fixed a couple weeks back.
