Brake fluid is changed every 2 years on euro spec fords as per specification but is still checked incase the fluid has absorbed more moisture than usual.

Yellow festivia you will have to ring us as I do not handle the pricing side of things for the workshop as I'm the technician. Ask to speak to Michael and ask him to quote you on OEM parts and he can do you a quote.
You guys are much more strict than we ever where at Honda then, we never went that indepth on our servicing, just tried to get them in and out as fast as we could.
