stef123 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 gaz i usually use the pink stuff from Halfords. you can also mix the new purple ford stuff though. if you are gonna buy it from Halfords, give me a shout and i will save you a couple of quid on trade if you like?

Its pink stuff in just now so lets keep it pink :P Its bang on the "Min" mark, but my mum said "just top it up with water" am guessing this is a serious no no? That would be great Stef, what sort of price is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be great Stef, what sort of price is it? 50%? of the coolant is water so it would do no harm but it would change its properties - temp range being the main one. best off buying the real juice. unfortunately its £10.99 for 2 litres but you will get something off with trade. it could be a quid off it could be a fiver off, i honestly cant remember what i saved last time - saying that the trade discount does change from time to time and recently i have had some very good discounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazjs Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 2 litres sounds like it would be plenty anyway. Would rather that than water as its getting nearer winter :( Is it some sort of card you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
