How to replace the brake fluid in a Mini Cooper

Model: Mini Mini Countryman1, R60 - Years 2010-2016
Part: Checks and maintenance

Replacing the brake fluid in a Mini Cooper is a straightforward task that can be done independently. After purchasing brake fluid online or from an authorised parts store, open the bonnet and the reservoir cap. Next, insert a pump into the reservoir to siphon out the fluid and press the brake pedal to help remove the fluid; alternatively, you can lift the vehicle and drain the reservoir from underneath. Once the reservoir is empty, add the new fluid and press the brake pedal to circulate it.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
