A friend has today started to change the brake hoses on a neighbour's Mercedes 500SL. Having drained down the braking system he tells me "It's blue - and I've never seen blue brake fluid before". Do these cars need something 'special'? Can anyone here tell us what might be suitable, please? I mentioned this to someone locally, who suggested that antifreeze had been put in by mistake. But I dunno...
Any replies welcomed. TIA
