Peter, good diagram. I presume item 47299, from the non TRC unit, is a fine strainer and the level sensor fits in that boss below it horizontally. If so then I assume the float is mechanically linked to a switch but does it sit within a smaller chamber to reduce the free surface effect?

Adam, what do you mean about giving the lid a clean? If you mean you'll clean the contacts ok. A lot of people are obviously getting a positive result by topping up but I can't for the life of me see how that is fixing the problem as it won't get the float to rise any further as it only has a few mm of movement. So the real fix must lie elsewhere. Unless someone can come up with a better explanation that elsewhere is what I've suggested in my previous thread.

Jan, you're on to it. If the switch still looks good then a quick clean and Bobs ya uncle. Please explain, for our benefit, how to remove the float column from the switch.

Just thinking re the topping up fix, maybe it isn't the actual topping up that works but rather the act of removing and replacing the sensor which activates the switch that actually does the fix albeit temporarily.
Use a multi grip pliers grip around the plastic stalk twist a quarter lap and pull apart. As you can see in the photo (not so good photo but still visible) there is two bayonet wings on the stalk they are the ones who hold it together.

Jan, I may be stupid but i just had a look at my brake fluid cap and there is no metal like dip stick attached to it? Am i looking in the wrong tank or what ? Plus the fluid levels are right between low and high.
