Thumbs up Sorry a bit of help needed please

Sorry All but as I have no manual yet I'm trying to locate the brake fluid reservoir but can't see it is it under the engine cover or I'm I just daft (please don't be to cheeky with that question ha ha ) also looks like I have what looks like a electrical cable hanging near the rear offside wheel not sure what it's linked up to but as I'm not very mobile I can't get on the deck to look at it properly many thanks in advance

Brake fluid reservoir lives in the plenum chamber on the drivers side. Open the bonnet and remove the plastic 'grille' cover near the windscreen.. Its under there.

The wire hanging down at the offside wheel sounds like it is the wear indicator. Trikey typing faster lol

Hi Paul, I see you're in West Drayton, me too! Harmondsworth actually. Send me a private message if theres anything I can help with. Trikey's posts are always good, so start with the brake sensor wire as a first look.
