Which coolant

[mrpbailey]

What coolant is reccomended for a 3R? Just checked mine this morning before going for a drive in this good weather and found the tank is just about empty! oh no

Shell Premium is recommended (blue ethylene glycol based one), but any coolant will do so long as you don't mix types.
If your header tank is empty I'd hunt around for leaks first. Usual culprits are hoses to turbos, little blue junction connector (down by bottom of the header tank) and around front rad.

Yeh i used the pink longer life stuff, cos the stuff already in there was pink. Header tank wasnt quite empty but wasnt much left in there!
Seems to be maintaining level ok now and cant see any obvious leakage but will keep an eye on it for next few days, thanks.
