CC12345678910 Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 (edited) cos i 've got 5 litres of the stuff for my gas gas' clutch and it cost my dad the same as 50ml of royal blood. if it would work it'd be a bargain!

PaRtZ Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 lol can't answer that because ive never heard of it What is it exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Maggies will run off anything, run it on jam if you want. It should work fine, just make sure it isnt to thick of a liquid or your brake will be a blag to bleed and be slugish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scousertrials Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 LHM is called liquid hydralic minerale. French for mineral oil for hydraulics. Its the same as royal blood but with a different colour (red royal blood) (green LHM). Citroen BX and some rolls royces use it for suspension in the citoen BX and power steering in the rolls. I've used it loads a tims and its cool in maggies. Cheap and cheerfull, and the same as royal blood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Yep it'll work. Just dont use dot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Citroen LM is what I used to use in my maggies many moons ago (before I got a REAL brake ). I was told it was identical to the "official" maggie stuff. I never had any problems, and yeah, WAAAAAAAY cheaper than what maggie will sell it to you for.

Simpson Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Whats a "real brake" then?i put a friendly pound bet on a vee.... any takers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 any mineral based oil works with magura's even tesco's cooking oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I think it's wrong to advise using anything that's runny. DOT 3/4 oil will damage the seals, surely?My advice would be to go into a car spares shop and buy a litre of mineral brake fluid, usually a green container or green lid. This is about £6/7 and the same as Magura oil. Cooking oil tends to be too viscous, and I've never seen the point of using water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 LHM fluid is brake and suspension fluid, use it to bleed the Hs33's that come in for repair at work.Is certainly cheaper and more widely available than the Magura stuff.
