I'm coming up to my second year service which if I'm right means the brake & clutch fluid need to be changed.

I know the dealerships don't do it but I have my service done elsewhere (as I don't trust the dealer) so to get my lifetime warranty reactivated would I really need to change the brake fluid?

Or should I just buy a bottle of it and get my mechanic to tick it as done.
i don't think it's just pouring in a new bottle.
and 2 years seems rather fast?
Can't remember if it was done on my Elite on it's second service. The VXR is due to be done in a few weeks.

A lad in work got his done on his Audi after it was 2 years old even though it was listed in the service schedule they didn't do it till he requested for it to be done. From what he said it made a very big difference to how the breaks felt.
they never touched my brake fluid in 3 years so i got it done my self
Well the car is in today for it's second service but 3rd oil change. The dealer has contacted me to confirm if I wanted the brake fluid changed or not as it is recommended to be done. As I'm on the service plan with them it will only cost £20. So that's getting done Other than that the rear brakes will need doing in about 4 months one has worn more than the other side.
Do you mean one side of the pad or the car

The receptionist did say plus didn't have time to check will find out when I collect it shortly.
it may just need some grease in the slider pins
Well spoke to the mechanic and one side is slightly more worn than the other side. On a plus the brakes feel so much more keen. Although think it might just be down to the Corsa brakes been poor
I had my major service done a month ago the one that is spark plugs etc. I think that is for 48000 but mine had only done 36000 in the 4 years. Brakes had their fluid changed without asking about it as part of the service at a private garage. It felt a bit different in the breaking department when I got it back. £185 including MOT.
Ha mine due shortly... It will be 80k mile lol think Vauxhall quoted £300 odd
When i was doing major services they did change my brake fluid straight away but charge me £29.[url=https://www.google.co.uk/search?num=30&q=straight+away&spell=1&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjZnq3gppTNAhWShRoKHe3hCRcQBQgaKAA][/url]
