Part: Brake system

This video shows where the brake fluid reservoir is located in a Mini Cooper and how to access it, useful if you need to check the level and top it up. As shown, it is positioned at the top of the engine bay, directly in front of the windscreen on the driver's side. To access it, you need to remove the left plastic cover by taking out all the relevant bolts and screws. Once done, you can remove the cap of the reservoir and perform all necessary checks. Avoid any spillage as the fluid is highly corrosive.
