thanks mocki, so this bit about useing pink anti freeze due to certain rust inhibitor qualities aint exactly the whole story? glad i asked first, your right that other stuff is pretty pricey, still mix 50/50 though?

I think all pink 5yr antifreeze is much the same---the Comma stuff is about £15 for 5 litres--yool need 2 cans----the price for the VW G12+ in GSF recently was not much more--only comes in litre bottles tho--
