Job took 15 minutes as the drain point was completely clear, as were the side drains that I checked at the same time.

The cover doesn't come off mine without the third clip being undone.

Who designed these b****y clips anyway? Some sort of raving lunatic?

The scrivet thingies are rubbish too - try unscrewing them and either:

a) The whole thing turns
b) Nothing turns
c) Some idiot has already chewed up the plastic slots, or
d) The screw part undoes then flies off and disappears forever underneath the brake servo.

What the hell is wrong with bolts!
