Hi,

How much brake fluid will I need to do a complete drain and refill on
a Nissan Micra? It's a 1997 K11 model if that makes a difference?

Cheers

How long is a piece of string? Depends how long it takes to bleed the
system.

OK then, roughly how much brake fluid should I buy? I don't want to
run out halfway through (obviously) but I don't want loads left over.
Will a litre be enough? Two litres?

Buy a litre. That should be loads, but have some means to get more should
they be a sod to get all the air out of them.

A litre was more than enough to bleed my ZX 1.9 brake system.

As the others have said, a litre is plenty. But unless you're also changing
components, don't drain and refill the system. Suck out as much as you can
from the reservoir with a bit of tube, then refill it. It will then be a
simple matter to bleed through the system (keeping the reservoir topped up)
till the new clear fluid comes through.

I presume you are trying to replace the fluid.

Do not drain and refill. Keep adding and removing fluid from the brake
nipples. You will see the clean fluid come through.
