Workshop manual says bleed excess brake fluid through brake nipple.
Easier route could be to syringe excess out of the reservoir?

I just fixed a 2008 by a simple wire bridge.
I took the knee light out of the panel and figured out which of the two wires is the power wire.

My 3.6 TDV8 has developed a ticking noise. It sounds like an exhaust leak when there is a slight blowout of a manifold gasket.
