Myles Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I fitted a new fan - and a new thermostat (74 degC rating ) to PSC today - or that was the plan... ...went in to Halfrauds to buy some coolant (aka 'antifreeze')... couldn't find it. Asked. Was told they'd taken it off the shelves now that winter was over... Give me strength! Went to Motorworld and paid over the odds for Comma instead... ☹️ Project Scope-Creep is live...

WILL FLY Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 How much was your coolant, I got Comma Coldstream premix from Camberley Auto Factors at 9 quid a gallon I think. Roy. See willfly.net for more info. If you don't spin you ain't trying Happiness is knowing you have just a tad too much power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 Gad, it pains me to say it, but it was £4.49 per litre of concentrate. I had no choice without a major trek/search...
