I have read somewhere that when fitting the VE upgrade that DOT 5 brake fluid would be best? Is this true?

No. DOT 5 is not compatible with ABS. Use DOT 4. Or DOT 5.1 if you want an expensive brake fluid.

DOT 5 is silicone based, the others aren't. It's mainly a bike brake fluid or vintage car fluid.

DOT 5.1 is glycol based.
