| Do you mean sender unit as in the brake fluid low level warning switch? Or the brake fluid reservoir itself? I suppose you could risk it without a level warning light if you keep an eye on the level regularly and ensure the brake pipes are in perfect condition. You then only need to worry about the cylinders. Hopefully this is the sort of thing someone will have somewhere anyway. You may also like to try the site www.SKODA FORUM.com™ - The International Skoda Community Forum too in the wanted section ![]() Suprised scrappies ain't interested, these Skoda's are easy cars to take bits off. |

| Just to add, having looked at the parts lists, the brake fluid container, the level switch and cap seem to have the same part numbers as the later favorits. I *think* part number 115 595 481 is what you would need from the dealers. Should be under £10 and still available but would probably be special order. I would check first that they will let you return for a refund if it isn't the required part if you go that route. Another route to try is Jorily Skoda on ebay eBay UK Shop - Jorily Skoda: Estelle Rapid, Favorit, Felicia contact him and he should be able to help out with what you need as he seems to be able to get everything . |

| butts are good for body parts but they only do one shipment a month so small, older parts are a disaster, and thats where Graham/Jorily comes in. give him an email lass and I'm sure he'll get you sorted asap ![]() |

| Isn't that pretty much the same part that's on practically _any_ European car? I'd be surprised if you couldn't find one in a scrappy that would fit. The level warning almost never works and if you know what's good for you you'll be checking the level weekly along with oil, coolant and fan belt condition, so all you need is something that screws on and stops brake fluid sloshing all over the world when you corner hard. |

| The fact that none of the supplied caps with the Gunson Eezibleed fit the Favorit reservoir suggests to me that they are unique to Skoda unfortunately. |

| Butts have now stopped supporting old Skoda's. I would ask Jorily on E-Bay as he is an excellent source of spares. Hope that helps. |
