Default Clutch fluid amount

I've tried looking everywhere but can't find how much fluid the clutch takes? Any ideas anyone?

If you are replacing the fluid you need to bleed it through till the air is out, so how much depends on how good you are at doing it, I would say 1/2 litre is nornal.

When did my clutch i went through 500ml, as most of it was used to flush the old stuff out.

Thanks guys, i just wanted to know roughly so I could order the fluid. Looks like 1 ltr bottle will do.

Should be able to do the brakes as well with that!, and no need to order just walk into Halfords and pick up a bottle of DOT 4.

I've spoken to the opie and they recommended motul RBF or Fuchs titan race as the best ones to get (i think they are the equivilent to 5.1). I'm going to go for the Fuchs because i use their race oil and am very happy with it

Makes no difference for the clutch, as it isn't getting anywhere near as hot, it's just being used to actuate the fork. DOT4 will be fine. Brakes are a difference kettle of fish though. RBF600 is used by a fair few people on here, especially if tracking the car. For road use, it's not quite so crucial IME.
