Hi Wally

I actuality fitted a Volvo 240 master cylinder reservoir, so it would be slightly bigger than the Beetle one I guess.

What they are getting at is, if I fill my reservoir and I drive the car until the brake pads are worn out, I will not run out of fluid.

I cant keep it quiet any more, they suspect that my Beetle is Mexican Beetle that I've put on an early pan, I've pointed out to them that a Mexican Beetle has a flat front windscreen and a torsion bar front suspension and my car being a 1303 has a curved windscreen and McPherson struts.

The reason that they suspect this is, is that I bought new wind-up glass for my door windows from the USA, they were made by VW Mexico, so 2 windows made in Mexico, front windscreen and flipper windows were made in Australia. My rear window is a heated German one and and my pop outs were made in Germany as well, its a wonder that they didn't suspect that is was an Australian or German Beetle lol
