Dirty, I think you should definitely sell your car to buy an F6. This also means you could sell me your clutch cheaper

Nice car Mike! Have a massive soft spot for the XF's. Mine had 120K on the clock in 03 and was immaculate. Baby blue, lift kit etc. If I ever see it for sale, its mine again lol

G'day fellas, I'm finally getting my DBA's fitted on Monday with some braided lines, can anyone suggest a good brake fluid to get? I went to GoGear today and I don't fancy the PBA stuff for 50 clams a bottle though, but something that is still good to get.

Also seeing as I'm going to have to flush the old sh1t out, how many 500ml bottles do I need for the job.

Cheers all.

Looks bloody clean & straight Mike. I was in a similar situation... My parents brought one new in 1987 and kept her until after they broke up... She ended up getting sold in 2001 from memory, was a white XF GL similar to yours

ego, not too sure how much fluid, but 2 bottles would be heaps. last time I bled mine I used just over 1 I think.

I just used pbr super dot 4. got it from repco, ~$12 a bottle (500mL)

If you're flushing the system, put decent fluid back in or you'll just need to do it again in a few months if you drive hard. The cheaper the fluid, the lower the boiling point!

In an auto you want to have a high boiling point as you don't have the gears to slow you down like a manual. Once the fluid boils it's cactus & needs replacing so best to put good stuff in from the get go

Can't remember the name of the stuff I put in but it's what they use in all the track porches/bmws etc. There's a German mechanic around my area that I got it from & it cost me ~$200 for a flush & refill plus he fitted my rotors...

mine needs flushing, fluid looks more like used engine oil then brake fluid, jet black ftl

It probably turned that colour to blend in with all your drinking buddies up Kal way Mat!
