Thanks for reply. Fair coment maynard. Will get proper stuff and change it next weekend. When you say 7ltrs, is that 3.5ltrs coolant and 3.5ltrs water or 7ltrs of type D coolant? Ta

Hi. Do i HAVE to use this Renault type D coolant in an 03 172? I have 5ltrs of Fuchs Eskimo Universal antifreeze i bought from GSF last week. It says it's for petrol & diesel engines inc aluminium engines. It's a superior glycol based antifreeze apparently. I've only got this afternoon to...

There are 60 minutes to 1 degree. So, 45 minutes = 3/4 degree.

How much did the thermostat cost? Do you need any gaskets or o rings for housing? My girlfriends car is doing this too. MPG's don't seem to good at the moment either!
