I've got it in my valver

I read somewhere that it's ok as long as its not mixed with the green stuff I may be wrong :?

I'd just make sure the system is properly flushed with clean water before putting it in

thats great got 3lt of the stuff in the garage mixed with water is 6lt that should be enough i hope. i am going to flush the system before what the best way 8)

Defo flush fully first.

There's a plug at the top of the radiator undo it and start the engine

Once its up to temperature the water will start to flow out, just keep filling the header tank up with fresh water, then fill the header tank with the new stuff til it comes out the plug hole then put it back in.

Leave it running for a few mins with the lid off the header tank so all the air bubbles can work their way out of the system, lid on jobe done :wink:

and conveniently the engine will be nicely warmed up to take out for a good thrashin :twisted:
