When and if you buy brake fluid at Halfords online, DONT rely on what the ad is saying.

I ended up being told i was wrong because i bought the wrong DOT4 brake fluid, and being told it was my mistake.

When i read the ad for the brake fluid this is what it said.

So would you have bought this going by the info on there website if you needed a " Low viscosity brake fluid ".......

I have to say i'm a little bit miffed with Halfords and my local store.

Thats what i did after i picked it up from Halfords, and why i returned it.

This is the first problem i've had with them, But its the being told its my fault for buying the wrong one that got my back up.
I rang up halfords customer care and told them what happened and how i was treated. but i dout anything will come of it.
