Which ATF to use with automatic Toyota Corolla?

I need to replace the automatic transmission fluid on my Toyota Corolla but no garage seemed to have the recommended T-IV fluid. Does standard ATF do the job? Does anyone know where I can get the Toyota T-IV fluid?
Thanks,
B.

Not to sound silly, a toyota dealer?

That's where I asked first. After a lot of bluffing, they admitted they just used standard ATF and would have to search around for the Toyota fluid I was after. There must be somewhere in Ireland that sells the stuff?
Thanks,

You could try Charles Hurst Toyota up North in Dundonald.

Richard, is that ATF OK to use in an automatic Toyota? I know the spec says it is OK but I'd love to hear from someone who's actually using it in their transmission.
Thanks.

@ OP,

Try a Lexus stealership.

Glorified Toyotas. I have one

and it uses that Type T-IV fluid, not due for replacement yet
