Sorry if this is a very basic question,
checked the level in the master cylinder today, in my workshop manual it says fill to half inch below filler neck, my hand book says a quarter of an inch below, and the master cylinder cap has written on it fill to bottom of thread, can you tell me what is correct please

Re: Master cylinder level
1/2" below the threads on the filler neck to allow for expansion of the brake fluid.
Any higher and there is a good chance that the brake fluid will expel from the breather hole in the cap.

Re: Master cylinder level
It might depend on how you applied the brakes. Follow the highway code and the master cylinder will need more air space than if you don’t.
