CVR(T) FV103 Spartan Steering Brake Hydraulic Reservoirs

[TheAmericanPatriot]

My Steering Brake Reservoirs in my Spartan are starting to approach unacceptable levels and i have never filled them before. Is there an exact fluid that the vehicle likes to have put in there or is it just any hydraulic oil? To be honest i am not sure what the fluid is but i believe it to be hydraulic oil. Im learning! Some assistance and/or advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance guys

ISO 10 hydraulic oil. If it’s losing fluid that’s not good and needs investigating.

Use only mineral brake or clutch fluid such as Citroen LHM. Highly likely it will be the steering tiller master cylinders weeping, as most stored cvrt's had stagnant water covering where they sit.

Simple cheap fix though-land rover series 111  master cylinder seal kit-but make sure its for mineral oil (green colour coded)

I have 2 NOS  master cylinders available if you need them.
