I would say only in a pinch and only if you're sure it is actually what the bottle says. Brake/clutch fluid does go stale in the bottle. So I have heard. Personally. I would just buy a new bottle

I have a 2011 land rover Range Rover Evoque DY-LUX AND I NEED TO GET TO THE WINDSCREEN WASHER BOTTLE/PUMPS WHAT IS THE EASY WAY

Most modern vehicles have the washer bottle tucked away in a 'spare' space. The Evoque has it tucked behind a headlight so to get at it the front bumper and headlight will have to be removed. I agree that its easier to pay someone else to do it!

What fluid do I put in my 2008 clutch cylinder ? And how do i bleed it ?

You need either Dot 3 or Dot 4 brake fluid for clutch cylinder. If the old oil in clutch cylinder oil container is red or yellow then its Dot 3 and if its Clear like water then its Dot 4. Never Mix dot 3 and dot 4 oil. Check your vehicle owner manual for correct type of oil.

For bleeding you need to open the valve near the brake caliper till all the air inside the fluid pipe is released and oil starts dripping. Also add fresh oil in clutch container so that you don't create air gaps while bleeding.

What type of clutch fluid to use in a 1998 toyota corolla

Practically applied for more than 4 decades I have found that the clutch fluid is not more than a brake fluid. This Brake fluid is broken as
DOT(s) and ranges 2 to 5. Properties are of higher numbers say like DOT 3 and 4 have more ability to resist heat and have higher boiling temperature marks than DOT 2. Cars like manufactured around 1998 should use Dextron II D or 3. If you are to top up the level (you can check the minium and maxium level marks at the outside of the fluid plastic reservoir) the best is to top up to maximum level with as same as mother fluid. If you can't get or don't know what brand or what type of clutch fluid is already exits and not to get even a small reactions between fluids, flush out the existing one and replaced with the other.
Make sure you have enough amount of fluid for your dry clutch hydraulic system. One 0.5 bottle is good enough for family and light trucks. Make sure you bleed out all the air trapped inside the dydraulic system. Good luck.

How to install a clutch kit on my 1994 mitsubishi mighty max

Disconnect the battery, disconnect the Hydraulic Line from the Slave Cylinder, Remove the Starter (2 bolts, 2 wires. Bolts are 14mm, 1 wire is 12mm, 1 plugs in), Remove the Driveshaft(s) (4 12mm bolts) Remove the 6 bolts from the bellhousing (4 are 14mm, 2 are 10mm)
Remove the bolt from the Transfer Case Mount, 12mm (only if it's a 4WD, if it's 2WD this doesn't apply), remove the 2 bolts that hold the Transmission Mount to the Crossmember (12mm or 14mm, it varies)
Slide the transmission back on the crossmember, away from the engine, I recommend running a ratchet strap across the frame to balance the transmission.
Remove the Pressure Plate from the Flywheel (Six 10mm bolts), Inspect the Pilot Bearing (if it needs replaced, you'll need to remove the Flywheel which is held on with six 18mm bolts, drive out the old bearing and drive in the new one, reinstall the flywheel, using Threadlocker on the bolts, torque the bolts to 100 ft lbs) Install the new clutch disc and Pressure Plate, with the centering tool inserted through the disc into the pilot bearing. Use thread locker on the pressure plate bolts and torque them to 20 ft lbs. Remove the centering/alignment tool after you've bolted it together
Remove old Throw Out bearing from input shaft on the transmission and slide the new one on. Slide the Transmission forward (make sure the input shaft slides into the pilot bearing, don't force the transmission into place or you could damage the clutch disc or break the input shaft) Torque the Bellhousing Bolts to 40 ft lbs (4 14mm bolts), Torque the 2 10mm bolts to 14 ft lbs, Install the Starter (torque bolts to 23 ft lbs), Reconnect Hydraulic Line to Slave Cylinder. Torque Transmission Mount Bolts to 30 ft lbs.
Reinstall Driveshafts, torque bolts on flange/yoke to 40 ft lbs. Fill Clutch Master Cylinder with DOT-3 Brake & Clutch Fluid, Open Bleeder Screw on Slave Cylinder and bleed the air out of the system, close bleeder screw.
Reconnect the wires to the Starter, Reconnect the battery.

What break fluid do I use for a 2003 renault scenic?

Hi it will be a DOT 4 Brake fluid, make sure you get a new bottle tho to ensure that there is no condensation/water in the bottle as this will knacker the seals in your brake master cylinder and cause spongey brakes, hope this helps

Air in clutch line. how do you bleed the system?

1. Fill up the clutch reservior with right type and DOT of fluid (Dot 3 or Dot 4)
2. Have someone help pump the clutch paddle.
3. have the helper pump the paddle 5-7 time and hold it down and you open the bleeder and close it before the helper lets off the clutch paddle.
4. Keep repeating the above procedure until you see clear fluid coming out and no air is coming out with the fluid.

Good luck.

My clutch won't engage

There is a rubber plug on the bottom of the transmission bellhousing. Remove the plug and look in to see if the slave cylinder is leaking. If yes the transmission will need removed to replace it. While you are there, check the clutch disc and pressure plate and replace as needed.
