21 i think

if the car has vacuum brake boost fill to about 1" from top, if the car has hydro boosted brakes with the engine off stomp the brake pedel about 20 times or till you can't get the fluid to rise anymore, then fill till it's just above the bottom of the screen, if over filled the brakes can lock during extended use and the car won't want to move (sort of drag in traffic)

from Johan & Sean's page. Very good tech info and a lot of links to other repair pages. Also suggest you buy a Bentley Repair Manual.
