I had always been told by MG gurus to use Castrol GT LMA brake fluid in MG brakes, I think the bottle even says (or used to) something about being suitable for Girling brakes. I would think that if you took it back and the mechanic siphoned out the reservoir and vacuum bled each brake circuit you should be OK.

I'm not sure what kind of problems could occur but I remember an old MG mechanic told me that the rubber bits wouldn't last long if I used the wrong fluid...
