for those of you into DIY. : -

What is the best and preferably the cheapest coolant I can use for my 2007 FL2 ?

Is ready mixed the best ? Or concentrate with added distilled water?

I have been topping up with pink Triple QX as the stuff in the radiator was pink, but I don't know what make.

I've never bothered with distilled water in 45 years of putting anti-freeze in cars. You’ll pay more for the distilled water than you will for antifreeze! Use the ready mix if you want but all garages use neat antifreeze with tap water. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Thanks Steve D, I feel the very same way, I used to fill up my Mini radiator in the 70s with water, life was so much more fun and simpler then, before I knew it, the 'modern age' came in where people say you cant do this or you cant do that etc etc.

I am sure a few on here will say NEVER use tap water.

I will not mention what me and my mate topped the radiator in my Mini up with half way to Cornwall back in the 70’s

Luckily, no burn injuries were incurred  Regards
