Thanks. I will go for 50/50. I was not aware that it is the corrosion protection that deteriorates-I shall be diligent about regular changing in future!

Perhaps I should have added my question to this thread: Just getting around to flushing out the cooling system and refilling. I am using Bluecol 2 year-which seems to be right. The can says 25% or 33% or 50% depending on protection required. Does a higher concentration of antifreeze=better corrosion...

Not super hot, but definitely warm where before there was nothing. We will not be using the car much during the winter so I thi...

I know this is an old thread, but I have been researching ethanol- I can find only BP optimax and Esso synergy saying they have no ethanol. Shell (whatever the more expensive higher octane one is called) has 5% ethanol. I sent an email query " Does BP Ultimate petrol contain ethanol?" to B...

Temp guage showing 75-80c. Fresh air flap closed. Heater flaps open. Fan working. Diverter knob changes from demis...
