MG TD TF 1500 - Master Cylinder Dipstick

We all know how hard it is to check the fluid level in the master cylinder so after a quick bit of lateral thinking I marked a lolly stick in quarter inch segments and used it as a dipstick, it seems something around 1.25in is about right.
I also use a syringe to fill with a short piece of tube attached ... the job is a lot easier.

Sounds like a good idea, although having a remote filler tank sounds better still.

I make high quality remote reservoir kits for the TD/TF. They are not cheap due to the weak Euro at the moment. The reservoir is vented and a replacement non vented M/C filler cap is also available as an option or you can plug the existing one.

All but the MS cap can be bought here, as I put that same setup on my motor coach. They set the master cylinder on a stand and built the coach around it! High tech engineering of course! What is the thread size of the MS cap on a TF? PJ

Declan, I would love to see a picture of the kit installed - where does the reservoir go?

Paul,
You can buy both the standard M/C (vented)filer cap and the M/C rear blanking plug in the USA.

Kyle,
The reservoir sits on the J-bolt for the battery retainer. If you need more info I can send you my catalogue on TD/TF improvement parts if you send me your email address.

Regards
Declan
