Anyway, question is what fluid do you recommend and where from ??
Ideally I would like to get a fluid in other colour than yellow.
Currently my fluid is yellow and as I will be doing it 'the old-school way' (no using vacuum system) - I want to see when the new (different colour) fluid is gone through the system.
Many thanks;
Chris
BTW - any other tips for bleeding the breaks ??

think it says dot 4 on the lid anyway personally i squeezed so much fluid out of mine untill the resivour was near empty i then kept brimming it and pumping it through while keep pressure in the line like i was about to call it done and lock it off but i made sure i pumped more then enough through to get the old out . but try not to empty the system as i have had BIG issues trying to get them to blead up again if the handle is pumped dry . ash
btw the diffrence was amazing mine must have had so much water content in it lol
