Orange Coolant

[hueandcry71]

Does anyone know if this is available in Halfords type shops or does it need to be purchased from Lotus??

You are probably best off asking the last garage who changed the coolant which type and brand it is.

The orange ones are long life, or OAT ( I think ), and you do have to be careful about mixing.

I'm pretty sure Halfords have these types, but it would be far better to use the same type.

Good info here www.commaoil.com

Ditto. Did mine after a month of ownership. No idea what the previous owner had used. Seems ok though.
