just sorted roof problem and now noticed a very loose brake fluid reservoir!!!

a retaining bolt seems to be missing from underneath the reservoir.......!!!!!!
I've put a bolt thru' from one side to the other but not sure if this is correct!
it doesnt wobble any more, althought it now seems to be off centre,but this may ease filling the fluid up!

Can anyone help and tell me if this is ok? and how do i stop the warning display?

I don't know the answer to your question Maz but I do know that some folk who've had leaks from the reservoir have then suffered alternator failure. Apparently hydraulic fluid falls onto the alternator situated below on some models.
