change of brake fluid

[Schuetz Joerg <Joerg.Schuetz@erl11.siemens.de>]

Hi to all,

recently I purchased a 1986 Rover SD1 (VDP, Auto, carbs, LHD) which has been
standing for quite some time.
Now I am about to change the brake fluid. I am thinking about changing to
DOT 5, silicon brake fluid. What is the best way to do this change? Do I
flush the brake system with some other fluid (alcohol?) to get rid off all
the old stuff or do I just start to fill it with the new brake fluid?


Thanks, Joerg
