MGB -- General Checks Under the Hood...

The coolant level at the radiator was a little bit low.
Added some water (about 1/2 L).
This two pin electrical connector has been unplugged since I got the car.  Not sure what it's for but goes into what looks like a pressure sensor on the brake system...

Quite a bit of green corrosion on the female pins...

The male pins on the brake hose distribution block are pretty corroded too...


Brake & Clutch fluid reservoirs.

The brake fluid lever is a bit low.

Topped up the fluid level...
This is what the level mark on the side of the reservoir indicates is the correct level...

Added a little bit to the clutch reservoir also.
Both require DOT3 compatible fluid.
Brake fluid is hydroscopic (absorbs water) so want to keep the caps tight to keep out air/moisture.
