Title: I've just saved myself £48.
Post by: Field Marshal Dr. Opti on 01 June 2014, 17:23:37
When I purchased my first Omega in 2008 (a white 3.2 plod estate) I knew absolutely SFA about the marque.
In fact I knew so little that I paid an independent garage £60 to change the anti-freeze. :( :( :(

Don't ask what concentration they used because I have no idea........probably 25%... or less :(

Today I've my  coolant again. The last time I did this was almost 4 years ago.

So, 4.5 litres of GM red later......about £12.......and the Dowager Omega is ready to face the worst that winter can throw at it. :y :y

Couldn't have done it without help from OOF. :y

It's nice that you are doing so many little jobs before you pass it on to me. Your £300 is waiting for you, just give me the nod.

Would 12 months tax and a full tank of petrol help?

I aim to please. ;) ;D

They don't have summer, as such, in Lincs. Its drab and dreary all year round. That's why the residents are such miserable bastards. :)

It is, but I'm too old to be changing coolant when it's cold and wet. ;) ;D ;D

You can't just 'move' to Wakefield. A lengthy and arduous selection process in to be undertaken. One of the first rules of immigration is 'No Turnips!'....so you've had it, I'm afraid. Sorry. ;D
