Antifreeze?

[boobles]

Is there such a thing as "universal" antifreeze?
I have been told that you can buy some that will mix with any other antifreeze but have never heard of this before.

You Got Me There Boobles, why do you think i need to know what causes a HGF?
Touch wood ive only ever had one fail on me, which was in a MK2 escort many years ago. But ive changed many for other people.

[boobles]

Oh, i was told that you have all the obvious signs again on your current car.

What do you mean 'again'? i've got a sticky hydraulic lifter that goes quiet after 3-5 minutes, hardly a major breakdown.
Remember my engine is pretty much like new really, it's averaged 2450 miles a year thats all, and all but the last three months (me owning it) its been driven very gently. Anyway mate, this has nothing to do with a HGF. Maybe you should not listen to all you are told.
BUT while on the subject i am going to flush the cooling system and put some new coolant in it, mainly for the anti corrosion benefit.
