Brake Fluid Reservoir Cap with integral fluid level warning switch, for the brake master cylinder reservoir.

The cap seals the top of the brake fluid reservoir and carries a float-operated level switch wired into the brake warning circuit. When the fluid drops below the minimum mark the switch closes and illuminates the dashboard brake warning lamp. It is renewed when the seal has perished or the level switch no longer signals correctly.

Frequently asked questions

What does the RTC5831 brake fluid reservoir cap do?
The RTC5831 caps the brake master cylinder reservoir and carries an integral float-operated level switch. When fluid drops below minimum, the switch closes and lights the dashboard brake warning lamp. It's the genuine Land Rover cap with the fluid level warning function.
Which models use this cap with level switch?
This cap fits the Discovery 1 (1989-1998) and the Range Rover Classic (1986-1994 from VIN DA301158). Earlier Range Rover Classics before that VIN typically used a cap without the integral level switch, so check your VIN.
When should the reservoir cap be replaced?
Replace the cap when the seal has perished or the level switch stops signalling correctly, for example a brake warning lamp that stays on or never lights with low fluid. A poor seal can let moisture into the brake fluid.
