Are we good to trust the Halfords Coolant which it claims is suitable for the car: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/...pe=5304042 ??

Sure. But don't buy the diluted stuff - it's a total rip-off. Buy the concentrate and add your own free water!

Thanks Tim.. Ended up with some Land rover stuff though. heading to halfords and passed a jaguar land rover place i had completely forgotten about. They mainly do Jags which is what you see most of on the forecourt, but provide parts and servicing for LR it seems.

Non-diluted though, so will use my own free water (well metered, but cheaper eh )

diluted stuff can make sense . if for example your in a hard water area etc etc

other common water contaminates can react with the alloy in the engine/rad

not hugely likely but needs a mention At work

I was always told only add pre boiled water to systems with an alloy head don't know if there's any truth in it.

It's the condensed steam from boiled water that you are probably thinking of. They're pretty anal about using distilled water in motorcycles on one of the forums I go on. I just used de-ionised in mine. Never used anything but tap in cars though.
