Can someone point me in the right direction?
I need to top up the brake fluid but not being familiar with the engine layout I'm not 100% sure which is the correct reservoir to fill up?
Feel like a bit of a dipshit asking, but could anyone help?

behind the large heatshield if ur unsure, and its easier to top up brake fluid than bleeding the system especially if the bleed nipples on the calipers are seized :(

Two man job really, need one person applying medium pressure to the nipple with a spanner/ratchet while the 2nd person hits the surrounding area with a hammer and punch.
