I've got a slight leak on my Astra (coolant housing) that I'm going to try and fix at weekend, so I'll need some antifreeze to top up the system when I've finished.
Now it's been quite some time since I last bought some but bloody nora it's dear!

£25 for 5 litres form Halfords (using them as they accept paypal and I can pick it tomorrow);

When did it get this expensive?

Found some at Euro Parts that I can pay with paypal and with up tomorrow as it's not too far away, £15's a bit better:

I found my local Vauxhall dealership was much cheaper than Halfords, £16 for 5 litres IIRC.

Just in case this helps, you can buy 5 litres the pre-mixed antifreeze from ECP for about £8, saves buying de-ionised water too.
