- my car is just about to be serviced, for a coolant change how totally neccessary is it to have toyota red coolant? Is there any difference with this and normal glycol based coolant? How much is it going to cost to get (is it 7L?) of coolant from toyota?
Then add water. I'll bet that if you drain the system that you can't get 5litres of coolant in there! Theres a lot of pipework and though you can drain the system from the rad end there will still be a lot of coolant left in there. Not that this is a major problem really. Anyone else done this?£14 or £13 for the big tub, not sure how much the small tub is its OTT at £13 anyway, its only the same stuff u get and dilute i thought, but then someone told me that the water (or minerals in it) corrode the head 
£14 per 5 litre bottle I paid. Guy gave me two, then I made a face and said, I'm going to need 3 for 12 litres. So he chucked in the 3rd for free! Who says Toyota dealers are bad?(Mk1). Plus a litre or so on the ground!John wrote:
And I got about 11-12 litres into it

Sorry, hardly local to you! - such as how to seal my roof seals and avoid paying them £200 for new ones, how much the engine and gearbox weighs, where the asbestos is, etc etc.- I got 10 lites of 4life from Mr T for about 28 quid I think........ 
dunno if its true....

£4 a litre isn't cheap
