I use Slick 50 in mine and it quietened it down loads.

All of the Clio 16vs/Williams leak fluid from the top of the cap through the bleed hole. I rigged up some tubing that runs from the top of the ...

Got stuck for 3 hours with the trains tonight, so haven't been round my parents to take pictures as I'm knackered, cold and thoroughly fucked off!

I'll do them tomorrow night.

Sorry man.

You can get it from GSF, part number R45714, £8.50 + vat.
