Still not hard though as older or contaminated fluids are easy to distinguish from new.

Hi There,
One thing to consider is that Brake Fluid is hygroscopic so can and will absorb moisture over time. As the moisture is not compressible it can appear that the brakes are soft and/or there is more travel on the pedal. It's generally recommended to replace the brake fluid every two years.
Cheers,

More specifically moisture.
The more I read forums the more I am amazed at the lack of the most rudimentary of automotive knowledge.
'Jeffrey' in the UK is an old name, and one not held by many under 60. If the OP is of that age group he should be ashamed of not changing his brake fluid every 2yrs...but at least he's learnt sommat new...which he will (hopefully) retain![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
