which coolant?

[Gullzter]

I need coolant first thing tomorrow morning so i can fill up system and bleed to get it back to where it rests before i start back at work tomorrow..
I know halfords do coolant but not sure which one to go for, all i know is it needs to to be 5litres and red, can someone post a link to the exact one as there are a few from what i can see?

Also would there be anywhere else i may be able to get decent stuff cheaper than halfords?
ie b&q, supermarkets etc

This is the Halfords one you need;

If you can wait until Monday I'm sure yourlocal parts store would do it cheaper. Just needs to be ethylene glycol based.

I personally wouldn't bother with any of the cheap stuff. The cooling system is pretty vital in an MR2. You'll need 10 Litres if your doing a swap or 14 if your filling it up completely. You normally can only get them in 5 Litres. If you can wait until Monday, Toyota would be your best port of call.

Don't waste your money on the toyota premixed for life, as said- use a quality long life ethylene glycol based antifreeze, eg:

If you mix it up with de-ionised water even better

I cant wait til Monday, car needs to move tomorrow. Apparently the halfords stuff is a very similar match to toyota for life with 15% ethylene glycol base anyway and alot of good reviews from mr2 owners on mr2oc.
One thing i wasnt sure on was i read in the how to guide on mr2oc that 5l of coolant can be mixed with 5l of water or is that rubbish?

Anti freeze states mixing guidelines on the bottle, if you look at the one I recommended:

Concentration : Protection (degrees c)
33% : -18c
50% : -36c
60% : -52c

Im in halfords just now and dont have this one.

Looking at the g30 stuff Rich mentioned which is ready mixed so would i need to put that in neat?
There is also halfords OAT concentrate which is ehylene glycol based so would i mix that with water?
Which one would you guys go for out these 2?
