A continuation of the perennial discussion about the merits of
silicone vs standard brake fluid.
I put a vacuum servo in my TD about a year ago. It's a unit
manufactured for the Mini by Lockheed. The instructions have a
boldface paragraph that warns that all warranties are VOID if the
system is used with silicone brake fluid.

BTDT and went back to DOT 4 on the advise of my
auto/motrcycle/aircraft mechanic brother.
Couldn't get the silly cone (sic) bled, pedal would pump up, etc.
Just service the system like the book says.
