Re: ANOTHER #%*!:( BTV failure

G'day all, I have always been concerned with the fluid level in the BTV fitted to my 48,000 mile RHD 56 Patrician. The filler is almost imposible to access from the top of the car due to the RHD steering column and the heater. I therefore altered a filler top to fit a tube which goes to a clear reservoir on the RH inner guard. I can monitor the fluid level and it actually let me know that one of the original wheel slave cylinders had started to leak, when it started to lose level in the reservoir. I may not have found out otherwise until it was too late. I shall post a picture of the reservoir when I get a chance. As an aside the recently fitted alternator/vacuum pump combo had worked out very well. Best Regards Peter Toet
