As above, would anyone have any idea where I can get some Dot 5 Brake Fluid from? Halfrauds don't appear to have any and not having much look with finding anywhere else that could?
I think it needs rather more than flushing if you want to change fluids!
As an aside, DOT4 etc absorb water which is why classic car types etc who don't want to change the fluid every few years and tend to store their cars for long periods use DOT5. However water still gets into the system but because the fluid doesn't absorb it the water collects in the lowest point in the system and still causes corrosion. Can't really see the point of it TBH!
i always thought show cars use dot 5 as silicon fluid will not damage paint in case of leak (which is quite possibel on a 50s,60s car)
