ATE is good stuff..
I've got it in mine with SS hoses and performance pads, feel great. I have a couple of new unopened bottles lying around too - pm me if you want them.

Make sure you put some braided hoses on as well - makes a difference to mine.

I paid £15 for 500ml bottles of Millers racing DOT4 fluid, so that is some difference. Even 'regular' DOT4 is usually about £6-10/Litre. |

E9x holds about 1 litre in all, 2 litres will be plenty for a change with a full flush through.
Why worry? you are already looking at the cheapest budget fluid you can buy, so just buy the cheapest one if that's the objective. At that price point (£3/litre!!) it will make no odds ATE / Pagid / Tesco Value etc. As long as its DOT4, you'll be fine. Last edited by doughboy; 03-11-2013 at 07:40 AM.. |

Any thoughts on Motul 600? Also, I've heard 1L is plenty enough even with a flush.
Is that correct? |

Ok, cheers. This is the first car I've owned in years (not including a Landrover that blew up in the middle of Namibia!) and the only decent car I've ever had so learning everything from scratch really. |

I'd personally change the brake fluid every year if it's your DD and at 6 months if you track the car regularly.

The word "Racing" inflated the price 450%!!
