I know you can use Citroen hydraulic fluid instead, so is this what people suggest?

Re:
Yep that's the stuff. Citroen LHM mineral oil.
You can also use any mineral oil designed for use in disc brakes such as the pink Shimano stuff.
I think that the Magura 'Blood' may have additional additives to keep all the internal parts lubricated but I may just be imagining that.
You can also get Maguras to work using plain tap water, although it's not recommended for long term use.

I use the LHM stuff, but if you've got a local motor factors, you'll get a litre for about £4. They should have it on the shelf.
Halfords are *quite* expensive.

Re:
I have a big tube of shimano oil that has lasted a couple of years and still ovet half full
I have heard of the citroen fliud being a cheap altrnative.
I do wonderif it is worth trying to save afiver at the risk of focking up a set of brakes that cost £100 - 400.
