Burgo, that's just one of your gray hairs that got away, admit it lol
Got any rad weldlol
Unfortunately that is shafted:eek:
baxter would fix it
Its just as important in the summer as it also raises the boiling point of the water and picks up / drops off heat more efficiently ;)
its also got better lubricating properties to protect the water pump & rust inhibitors..
nar, my stupid 1.4 was in better condition then that and that went to the bin lolQuote:

Anti-freeze is essential all year roundat the correct concentration. As Mowgli hinted on, it stops corrosion which includes the alloy of the head face & the gasket itself. Usually the 1st to go.
that does look pretty bad , what car was that in burgo ?
Mate of mine did that to an XE n his munta lol
Ive Seen A Rs Turbo Block Do The Same Before,unlucky Dude,ive Also Had To Defrost My Mates Cav Td Which Even Though I Blagged Him For Weeks To Put Antifreeze In After I Replaced A Bust Hose He Didnt,cost Him A Good Days Wage He Was Gutted
