Replacing Brake Fluid

[Sib]

What DOT should I use and how much would it cost to get a garage to do this for me?

Cheers

a good dot 4 is the one you want for normal road set ups

Cool - sounds a fair price - does that inc fluid?

I'd recommend Castrol Super Responce fluid, can be had from opie oils for about a tenner for 1l which should be plenty to flush the clio.

Thats what I put in my old 172 and will be putting in the meggy + braided lines.

How many litres will you need Ben? expensive stuff if it's more than 1....

You can get away with just the 1l of the clio, £12 isn't that expensive. Look at the super responce racing stuff at £40/l! Did contemplate it for a second before coming to my senses and seeing that'd be a waste of 30 smackers.
