It's all well & good to have the law on your side

It's another thing when you see how slowly it works sometimes.

What brake pads you sticking into it?

Heres the links.

Was told they do get a little dustier that the other option they had but since I wash the car including the wheels regularly it shouldn't be an issue. That said a month on the road later this year and they could be a bit dirty by the time I get home.

BTW was moving some stuff around the in the shed and found an unopened bottle of Repco DOT4 brake fluid, not sure when it was bought (maybe 5 years ago) but it is sealed.

Worth keeping?

It's brake fluid. Not milk. It doesn't have a use by date. So long as it is kept sealed so it won't absorb moisture your ok

If it helps you save space
I have never needed extra brake fluid in over 30 years of riding / driving all kinds of vehicles
