It's dot 5.1 fluid that you need. (totally different from dot 5). Sequence is furthest away from the master cylinder first, next furthest away, etc. When changing fluid, empty the old fluid from the reservoir with a syringe, then fill with the new stuff and bleed. Old fluid is much darker than new, so bleed each caliper until you get the new clearish fluid (with no bubbles) coming out. Always keep checking the level of the reservoir is above the minimum level.

I changed the discs and pads all round, and fitted goodridge hoses last month. I used millers DOT4 fluid. Bleeding sequence I used was driver side front, passenger rear, passenger front, driver side rear, as quoted in the service guide I downloaded. I used a halfords one man bleed kit with huge success! Just keep resevoir topped up after each caliper.
