So got the hard tail out of the shed and brakes are not stopping bike, levers are pulling to bars, so tapedup levers to bar, that usually fixes it but for some reason its not working this time, what hydraulic fluid do i need for a top up, or anything else i should look at.
Don't Shimano brakes all use mineral oil rather than hydraulic fluid?
I've had 3 brakes replaced on warranty due to this - I would enquire if I were you
Sounds like it needs a bleed. Shimano mineral oil.
+1 it needs a bleed.

you can get brakes replaced on warranty when they need bleeding? result...
Top up and a bleed.
Use Shimano mineral oil or LHM automotive suspension fluid.
As stated already, they need bleeding. Use our blog post if you need guidance:

Did you take the reservoir cap off when you taped them?
I did the same as you just a few weeks ago, but opened the cap too and it was like new a few hours later.
i can't see that it says they are Shimano brakes
