MG MGA - brake luid question

I topped up my master cylinder the other day after bleeding the rear beakes. I used DOT4 instead of DOT3 and was wondering if this would cause a problem. The container says it is compatable with DOT3. If I need to change it what would be the best way?
Thanks

Kris - Dot 3 and DOT 4 are basically the same fluid except that DOT 4 is compounded to be low moisture absorbtion. The boiling point of DOT 3 tends to be a bit higher when it is wet than with DOT 4. For normal driving, you should experience no problems with the two mixed. Cheers - Dave
