Not as far as I know. There was a member on here "cov16v" or something similar with a vauxhall corsa redtop engine in a Sei. He custom built his own cooling system to a radiator in the back of the car with copper tubes 
.

Automotive antifreeze generally contains inhibitors (if it didn't, it would degrade into strong organic acid when heated, which would be a bit rubbish) so there shouldn't be a problem.
Cool, thats saved me a lot of effort. Now, off to make a copper radiator bottle
Whats the perfect way to make scrambled egg?
Depends, personally I like to do them in the microwave as they come out nice and fluffy:
Crack 2 eggs into a jug and beat until mixed, add milk to the mixture to double the volume (ie. if your 2 eggs made 200ml, make up to 400ml with milk). Beat again until well mixed, add a little butter - about a teaspoon - salt, pepper and herbs if you like and mix well.
Cook on full power for a minute at a time, mixing well after each minute, until fluffy and no wet mixture is left.
nb. You may have a little water left in the bottom of the jug, this is normal, it helps to have a fairly large jug but an average 1.5l jug should be sufficient.

Is a Dyson Hepa filter suppose to be charcoal in colour on one side
Just got a used Dyson as a stop gap from a mate, cleaning it up, and washed the lifetime filter as its never been done :yuck:
Found the Hepa filter and it doesn't look cleanable, and it's the first Dyson we've had with one fitted, so not sure if it's condition is normal or if I need to get a new one

I'd get a new one. The charcoal ones are fitted to the "allergy" models, and are unwashable IIRC.
Either replace with the same or get a ordinary one.

in a pot,heat up a little milk(or cream for extra lush/calories),butter and seasoning
once its near boiling
take it off the heat
stir in your already beaten eggs,use a wooden spoon
if needs be,return to a moderate heat to cook
cook a bit less than you want and remove from the heat to finish (a splash of double cream is nice here)
take them out of the pot ASAP,to prevent over cooking
Cheers, I'll get a new one for the sake of a few ££.
