It is my understanding that Castrol LMA *IS* Girling brake fluid. I.E.,
Castrol and Girling merged, in some fashion, some time ago. Use the
Castrol with confidence (DOT 4 preferred). If you decide to use DOT 5
(silicone) then be sure to flush your system completely first, as the
two types (silicone and non-silicone) are incompatible. (The pros and
cons of silicone fluid are a dead horse...let's not beat it any longer.)

Hope this helps.
