Where to shop for brake fluid

[biglad58]

Putting some goodridge brake lines on and just need to get some brake fluid now, want the AP racing dot 5.1 and just wondered where to shop for this, am i right in saying i cant just pop down my local motor spares place. Just looked on demon tweeks who stock it but want £8 delivery. So anywhere in the W.Mids area to collect or any other cheaper online shop anybody knows of would be great.

don't really need 5.1, but if you do make sure you flush all of the dot 4 out, as the 2 can't mix.

^^^ Agreed Dot 4 is good enough . I use Castrol response .

I dont think you could tell a difference between cheap dot4 or the premium stuff. I havnt done a comparison myself but looking at specs i had a choice between comma and castrol and the extra cost didnt justify the tiny benefit. Although im sure others will disagree

5.1 only really worth it on track cars to much maintanence otherwise
