Well.....I think the mystery is solved thanks to everyone who suggested the water & brake fluid dilution test (In my DOT 5 brake fluid problem post)

I managed to get a full straw full of the blue brake fluid to dilute with the water,
It looks like I have DOT 4 / 5.1 and not the dreaded silicone based DOT 5, the bottles are not in any order.

Can't figure out if its possible to link my other DOT 5 thread to this one, pic's can be found on the above post.
