Just installed a rainwater capture system in my garage, actually. Pumped up to a header tank in the roof space so I can feed my pressure washer from it.

I got about 300 litres or more catching rain water of 2 sheds  Very handy 

Yes mine is filtered , i would drink it but only when water is as dear as gold

Easily done

Yeah, don't use Broadside as a coolant on a hot day.. everything goes all wobbly.

Could someone point me in the direction of the "HowTo" guide on a 3.2 engine coolant change guide can't seem to find one 

And what does everyone think about the Antifreeze choice in my #1 post. Will it be compatible ?

Thanks in advance

and i like the sound of this method from Jimbob 

"An alternative filling arrangement is :-

Repeat flushing with water only, until the drained water is completely clear.

Now drain the system again, and then close the drain tap.

The car will now have about 1/2 the required fluid (Water) in it.

Add neat antifreeze :-
for a V6 which hold 9 litres, add 4.5 litres of neat  antifreeze
for a 4 pot which holds 6 litres, add 3 litres of neat antifreeze.

You can now, top up to the correct level with water.

Run the car up to temperature, with heaters set to Hi, burping hoses to expel any air.  Topping up with water as necessary.

Any future top ups, use a 50/50 mix to maintain the concentration."

Any harm using 100% coolant.

Any harm using 100% coolant.

i'm not sure why (just got told by my teacher) but using 100% antifreeze renders it useless and as good as putting 100% water in. not sure how true that is but I wouldn't 

I personally just use tap water with my 50/50 mix.

[Sir Tigger KC]

Ooooo this is a new concept to me!    I've never thought of water hardness/softness and have always used tapwater! 

What a philistine!!

You shouldn't do that in Northampton your water is hard, well hard. Check the instructions on your antifreeze.

I tend to over think things i think, Well i think i tend to at least, I think i do
