Use new copper washers. Check the seals for wear.

Thanks Miles.

Any advice on the dot 4 to dot 5.1 idea? worth it?

Can you just pour new brake fluid into the resevoir?

I plan to cap it with polythene then put the cap back onto seal it, but i think when i take the old hoses off, losing some fluid will be unavoidable.

Will bleeding the system once be ok?

thanks for the help

yes they do - The new Midilite range is fully dust sealed. Lightweight 4-pots, discs and braided hoses for £400 + vat. Good pedal feel and stonking performance. My mate here (who's an Audi/VW mechanic) bought some hi spec discs which cracked after a few 100 miles. He thought they were utter sh1te.
