At some point over the winter I will change the coolant.
I have looked through the forum via search and all I got was confused.
so who last bought recommended silicate free coolant for the Falco and what was it called.
Once I get that information I will go out and buy it and then wait for a nice dry weekend.
cheers

Iirc I used halfrauds premixed stuff - was the orange I think
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

If you really want to be posh you can buy water free coolant these days, think Demon Tweaks sell it
Yes it is demon tweeks that sell it, just looked the email

When I did the kwak recently I bought a couple of litres of premix from Halfords. Think it was pink. Works just like whatever was in it before.

Blink, surely?
Wonder if that's what Jay drinks? Could explain a lot.

Comma Xstream G30 is what I have got, no silicates and meets all of the other criteria.
