Brake fluid is hygroscopic, so absorbs water. Therefore irrespective of whether you drive few or a lot of km, brake fluid should be replaced every two years on every car.
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Did mine as part of the three year service in the summer.
Picked up a tip from the forum on removing most of the old fluid from the reservoir 1st to save wasting a load of new fluid.
I think it's good practice and it helps to prevent the bleed nipples from seizing up as well.

Yep, regular as clockwork.
With a pressure-bleed kit it is a quick & simple operation (used to use an Eezibleed but have had a Sealey VS820 for a few years now and it is excellent). ONE LIFE, GET IT!
