are you using a blackberry to email on the go?
I'm sure Sven reckons to fill up the whole thing with anti-freeze - that way you're covered down to -20. I could be wrong though, so apologies to Sven.
 
somehow I don't think thats quite right...

and no, I'm at work now but biking to work.

look at svens response to 'coolant' on sept 7th. thats what he says!!
apologies, obviously you need a computer to post....i'll get me coat...
 
Usually there is a suggestion on the back of the antifreeze container, I think it's 1/3 antifreeze or 1/2 antifreeze. %100 isn't nescessary in th uk as it doesn't get that cold here does it!
 
i take it sven must live in the arctic circle then. presumably it wouldn't hurt to use 100% antifreeze?
 
He lives in croatia, where the temp does drop extremely low.

well I foolishly bought 1L from partco thinking it would be enough...obviously it wont be :(

re

as above, i tihnk it depends on the concentrate you buy, whenever i've topped up i always just use pure antifreeze, if changing the lot i think i've done 1/2 and 1/2

well currently my cooling system is just full of water, nothing else as matey who did my headgasket for some reason didn't bother to put any in :s

you reckon dump a litre in there and be done with it?

I'm not sure how well it will mix round just dumping that in the tank,

i think you want to fluch it out and at elast just mic that litre in with water and put it in?
