Hi I have just bought a spares or repair 2003 Pulse Smart car and the brakes and not very efficient, to say the least. I see that they have put the brake fluid reservoir in a not so accessible place, but it is full and the fluid is very clean. Anyway, I also have a problem with the headlights, see that post and so would it be beneficial to remove the whole front of the car to bleed the brakes, to get better access to the reservoir, or will it still be awkward?

I wouldn't have thought that removing the front would make access for brake bleeding any easier. Having said that, the front comes off quite easily. Look on fq101 Web site. (I'd post a link if I was at home)

Thanks again. You did post this on my other thread. Any other Smart car site I should look at?
