For track days, maybe something a bit better, but dot4 is fine for enthusiast road use...

Aeye, thanks J.

just used a clever and easy device for bleeding/changing the break fluid.
Just a pump up canister with fluid in  it, with a pipe and cap to the master cylinder. pump it up to 10 psi on the gauge and the fluid flows direct to the master cyliner and pressurises at the same time.

Then just go round to each wheel in turn, and open the nipple to a pipe/container. No pumping pedals or topping up the master cylinder(or not and sucking air in) the pressure does the work, piece of pess. :y Wouldnt cost much either. :)

Pump handel on this one, like a garden sprayer....
Anyway, cheap and easy solution. :-)

similar to easibleed, accept that uses pressure from a tyre.

Remember to force the shite fluid from the caliper though.
