Default Brake Res Bottle Full

Today i noticed the brake Res bottle is full on the 3dr

What would cause this ?

The engine has been removed but i have not touched the brakes.

That is fine.

The accumulator sphere loses pressure over a few hours and the bottle will be full due to this.

When the ignition is turned on, the bottle will drain back down to the normal level. This is why the bottle should always be checked for level once pressurised.
