They are charging you £8=00 a litre for coolant ,assuming that stuff is mixed at 50/50 so to buy 5 litres of probably inferior coolant would cost you £40=00 :( :( :(

Go to local dealer and even with no T/C thats same quantity would cost you half that. :y

Yes. Just make sure you get the right amount in before you put too much water in. :y
Trade Club list it at £14.95 plus vat retail.
