Hi, Thinking of draining my 2.0 Omega estate and replacing it with new antifreeze mixture Thinking of using Vauxhall antifreeze via the trade club Is it a concentrate and any idea how much I will need to get good protection. Doesn't give much detail in the Book

50/50 mix

Page 207 of my handbook ;)
It is concentrated so as 2.0 engines are generally hold around 9.0 litres of coolant, if you use a full 5 litre can you won't be much over the 50/50 mix that RobG has said. Tunnie has done a guide somewhere. :y :y :y But in short, drain and flush till all traces of previous anti-freeze has gone. Drain final time, put all your can of anti-freeze in & top up with clean (preferably soft) water. Run engine without header tank cap, & top up as required. Replace cap and keep an eye on it for the next day or so. :y
