Anti - Freeze

My Radiator is pretty much water....
its not got much discouring from anti-freeze

So when the Water temperature sensors changed - i'll be loosing quiet abit of fluids

So i might as well wack the anti-freeze in as well

Do they all do the same job? as halfords is just as good as X brand?

Re: Anti - Freeze

Pritty much. I got loads from Halfrauds when it was buy 2 get 3rd free. Make sure you get one with rust prohibitors, and a high boiling point (mines 130C) and you should be ok for 2 years until it will need doing again

Fair enough. As you say, may aswell wait, no point doing it, only to have to change it a few months later.
