I was just topping up my brake fluid but as I tool the lid off the lid fell apart. Is it safe to drive with no lid and where will stock them

[robert mitchell]

i would say not safe to drive , if enough slops out as your driving air will get in to brake system .

get a new cap from dealer or scrappy

[Clever Forum Name]

Christ no, once a lot of moisture gets into fluid it will cause havoc.

Scrapyard or main dealer.

You could try clingfilm and tape but seriously it needs fixing

[Ben wood]

Ok cool cheers guys. Would halfords or mdc not
Sell them.

[robert mitchell]

most likely a dealer only part .

[Deangsi]

What vehicle is it? Honestly just go to a breakers yard it will cost about £3 lol

[Deangsi]

Other thing you really shouldn't be having to top brake fluid up, unless you are loosing it from somewhere, probley a clutch cylinder. Just have a look for wet patches of oil on gearbox area if you are loosing a bit of fluid

[kempy]

Get one ASAP , as you drive their tape over where the lid was

[paulben]

If been left overnight uncovered in these damp conditions I would get fluid changed or at least moisture content checked .Shouldn't cost much to change fluid

[Ben wood]

No put lid back on with gaffer tape to hold it on. I won't drive it and know wanted to check level which was fine. Will get one from the breakers today. Cheers

O my god don`t go near the van its not safe.Call the fire brigade its could b e a national catastrophe call out the nation guard.  Its only brake fluid it could slop out and take a little paint off.

your so right ....... its not like its important for the brake fluid to stay in reservoir .

pretty sure we don't have a national guard in britain either.

Unless you are driving around on badly corrugated roads just put a plastic bag around the lid with a elastic band and replace it when evener. Health and safety has fried your brains. Mate.

[robert mitchell]

hardly ..... i don't even have a cone or cordon tape!  slap twat

Stretch a balloon (or condom) over it to keep moisture out until you get a proper seal on it.

here here and a good rubber band will stop it falling off , easy fix for a few days until you get one sorted
