hi temp brake fluid

[kenny]

Carbotech™ XP10™this material is recommended for cars weighing around 2,000lbs or more

Couple of things I meant to point our earlier. This is the recommended pad for cars over 2,000lbs, not, this pad if not recommended for cars which are less than 2,000lbs.

And weight of the lardy S2 Exige, 1,925lbs. Pretty much spot on the point where the XP10's become the recommended pad.

I would not go by those prices Mike as i know of the top of my head that Motul RBF600 is about £12 per half litre and the Castrol SRF is nearer £40 per litre

Castrol SRF is what Lotus motorsport use. But you did not hear that from me

Make sure you flush ALL the old fluid out and make sure the fluid you use if ABS compatable. Some fluids are not good for ABS systems, I would check with Lotus before you put the wrong stuff in, it might cost you a lot more then £40????
