[zhed44]

I've just fitted a new clutch slave cylinder piston, and obviously had to bleed the clutch afterwards - in fact I just replaced all the fluid. It was only after I'd finished that I noticed I'd picked up DOT 5.1 rather than DOT 4 in Halfords.

I'm not too well up on these things - hope it's gonna be OK (ie: won't melt the seals or anything like that) -

No problem.

Like the great man says, no problem. DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 are compatible. DOT 5 isn't
