There's a level marker inside the MC - presumably you're supposed to check it using a finger, or maybe detach one eyeball and dangle it over the damned cylinder.

The rubber diaphram will be compressed by the fluid, as delivered. The problem is that the only way the recompress it out in the field, if you change the fluid, is by pumping fluid in via the bleed nipple.
It is a good design for use on the production line, less good for the Rover dealers replacing them and an hopeless/pointless idea for us, at this stage in the car's life.
