Dot 4 would be fine, one litre should do it, if you're not splashing out on expensive stuff buying two wouldn't hurt.
Although will be expensive, as will be Halfords from sounds of it...

just been up halfords..

and as i said there £9.99 for 500ml (performance stuff) so it says anyway..

but on my trade card i can get it for £7.49, so £15 for a litre..

didnt get it, just went up to see how much it was going to be...

Or Opieoils for SRF or Silkolene.
They had some on Ebay I bought, not a bad price.
That Halfords 5.1 would no doubt do you proud, and not a heavy car.
Can have half litre over to make sure too.
