Rank: Member Reputation: Groups: Registered Joined: 4/03/2005(UTC) Posts: 877		I have a WH stato that needs the brakes serviced, (new master, new fluid & pads all round) I would like to know if it is advisable to have it done by a pro & pay due to having ABS, or can I do it myself. Have done many a fluid/pad change over the years, but not involving ABS systems.

Seems unusual that a WH Statesman should need a master cylinder at this age. Has the car done ridiculously high kms? Or has the fluid not had regular change
		If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0
