Holy thread resurrection!! Just after some more newbie advice please chaps/chapettes in relation to coolant:

Do you guys go for the ready mixed to save some time or for the concentrated coolant? ECP are doing their usual 25% off and wondered if it's worth going for the Triple QX Red ready mixed at £8.50 for 5 litres or the 5 litre concentrated jobbie at £14.39 (excluding the 25% off).

Many Thanks in advance,

Cheers, Justin.

Ready mixed in what proportions? You need 50/50 for these remember.

Cheers Martin/Covikid! To be honest, I wasn't sure as to what the mix ratio was on a ready mix and was under the presumption it was 50/50 (although i suppose you can never be sure even if it states that on the product), so i'll go for the concentrate to ensure that what's gone in is correct.

Howdy Stuart! No probs at all regarding the pics mate - the van is currently down in Dorset and will be next in line for fitment once the chap, Simon, has completed the westfalia that he currently has in his workshop. He's going to take photographs of the process so i'll start a thread once the works have been completed and i've picked her up (should be approx the 3rd week of March all being well).

thats it.
I dont expect everyone to post picks as prolificaly as some but there are far too few threads dealing with interiors, so now we can see what you have, and please ask the guy doing it to spare less that 10mins a day to take picks as its being made and the construction methods as well, this will make a good thread to follow rather than the usual fait acompli that was recently thrown at us
bookmarked
