Used something similar in a pug once, when I was around 18. It al frothed up and the thing badly overheated, resulting in the cylinder head having to come off..   ;D

Bargain! So, that's about 128 quid to fill a V6 Omega. Sod's law states the HBV will dump it all over the road the next day. ::)

Yep - £120 down the drain - I get upset if my antifreeze at £10 gets dumped  ::)

When I rebuilt the LC I used long life at 50% then added water wetter. LC's are known for getting hot and bothered but with this set up I don't get any issues. Also to change the LC over would cost me around 200 quid!!!
