2000 102 series brake /clutch fluid(s)

[Tony Stevens <tony@domain.elided>]

Ed,

The original brake fluid reservoir has an internal chamber which
contains the clutch fluid, the same fluid is used for each. Obviously
designed to ensure that you still have a clutch when all your brake
fluid has all leaked out! 

Clutch fluid requirements are less severe than that for brake fluid.
Whatever you use for the brakes should be fine for the clutch.

Without starting Fluid Wars on the Digest, a good DOT4, Castrol LMA has
a strong following, or DOT5 should be fine.

BTW, Alfa Stop has new reservoirs in stock for your car, together with
brake & clutch hydraulic kits & cylinders, listed on www.alfastop.co.uk.

Hoping that this is of help
