Which Coolant ?

[MADNESS]

After taking the radiator off to replace the condenser, I now need to refit and refill, I have seen that the car needs Red-oat coolant.
Any recommendations ?
I have seen this in my local shop, any good?
Cheers

I think any will do really.. I used Comma in mine from ECP iirc.

Have a quick read of this thread

There's some discussions about Red OAT being potentially an issue with yellow metals and that TVR specialists like Str8Six are now recommending using Blue Coolant

Worth considering whether you need 5 year protection or just 2 year. I have had to drain and refill the cooling system more times than I can count over the last four years, so using the cheap blue stuff from Euro Car Parts works for me. Annoyingly I missed the 20L offer for £30 (full price £100) that they had recently.

Just finished putting the car back together, new rad and condenser fitted.
I ended up putting the Halfords Red-oat in at 50/50 mix with distilled water, all appears well now.
