Along the same thought lines, MTB brakes (quite a few of them) use oil for hydraulic system that's not corrosive. The seals are the only real change needed as DOT liquids and these are definitely not compatible with seals swelling badly in wrong application.
There's long history via Citroën system though with their LHM (liquid hydraulic mineral ) systems routinely used for both suspension and brakes. Many European original power steering system/pumps also mineral oil specific too. Easy to get oil for them.

Loving the HOPE stuff you mention, My pal always has it on hs down hill bikes he uses, always swears by them fo their ability to never go wtong. I just love the engineering.
While I'm on, could anybody recommend a shop that might want to work on my tan and get these dents out? Ive taken it to three different places and all have nung onto it, decided they dont want to do it and then not ring me. Just been to collect it for the third time anfd running oit of options really down here.
I really wan to take it to somewhere where they do this sort of thing rather than a body shop that deals with cars as they simply cant do it. I just want the dent out, the painter said he would nanny it up pre paint ans was under the impression that a slide hammerf and some tacked on rods th grip would be the way forward but two places have said that they need to patch it or cut bits out!......................I dont bloody think so!
Any help gratefully logged and acted on if poss,
Thanks all.

For the dent, have you tried a car dent repair specialist rather than bodyshop? There's some good kit with those guys for getting/massaging dents out as they are aiming to do that without repaint if they can. Quite a few focused on lease car prep before handback as they get hammered for any condition problems at lease end.
I've seen them getting some very restricted dents out of door panels and rear wing sections with extremely limited access, usually they're mobile operators that may give you a look-see to assess.

I spoke and took it to a couple of local fells's who do that sort of thing as I thought it might be able to be pushed out rather than pulled but they shyed away from it. Including Dentmaster! One said it was too thick, I did mention rangerover panels are about as thick but he said he wasnt up for it........so be it, move on ;D
If I cant find anybody I'll drill it and put some self tappers in and pull it myself. Im sure they can be brased up afterwards to get it sealed again and just found a wicked chap in Brizzle that can brase like a pro so Icoud take it to him. A little bit dissapointing but there must be someone that does this sort of thing. Thought it prudent to ask on here, you never know, somebody might have had a good experience with someone tucked away up an ally or something somewhere.
Not that sort of experience up an ally, Phil!! (sesman) ;) ;D
