Can anyone help sort our confusion over which brake fluid type is recommended for our 1971 Fastback Rapier. Any information we've picked up elsewhere seems only to confuse the issue!

Re: brake fluid
Assuming no previous owner has changed it from standard, any DOT 4 fluid will be suitable.

DOT 4. Be careful with DOT 3 as it's been known to create problems with older British rubber.
Re: brake fluid
Probably worth flushing the old fluid out completely with nice clean new DOT4 too.

Re: brake fluid
^^^ Yes, this.
And if you're at all uncertain about whether it's had silicon fluid in its system at some time, change all of the rubbers while you're about it.
