chaps,
being really lazy here, but i just need to know what brake fluid i should be using, hopeing to get my calipers back on tonight and re bled.. i have a haynes manual at home which i know tells me what i need, but im at work at the mo and wanted to get some during the day today, so if anyone could help that would be great, im just running the standard nc30 brake set up.. would normal dot4 be ok to use?

thanks in advance.

Yep. DO NOT USE DOT 5...it isn't compatible with DOT 4 or DOT 5.1!
