Green Antifreeze/Coolant Suppliers

[Andy 308GTB]

I need to top up the fluorescent green coolant on my old girl.

Rimmer Brothers do sell it but only in multiples of 20 litres for £83

The 5 litre tins of the product (Xpart) are available from a few outlets but none are within an hour or two for me.

Before I buy a party pack of the stuff - can anyone suggest an alternative source?

Because the new stuff eats some parts of old engines apparently, I picked some up in halfords, it's the 2 year one.

I'm guessing the one you got was
Halfords Antifreeze & Coolant Concentrate 1 Litre

Looking at the Comma website I'll probably go for this one
Comma G48 Antifreeze and Coolant
I may flush the whole system first rather than just topping it up, though.

Just for future reference: Comma G48 antifreeze uses BASF's GLYSANTIN® G48® formula (hybrid organic green/blue HOAT formula) and isnt suitable for classic car engines (mixed metal). Use a non-organic, silicate based, blue IAT antifreeze such as Blue Star or Bluecol on older engines.

Thanks for this.
I flushed mine through this year, can't remember what with but I will be checking tonight!
