    Topping up coolant level

    Is it ok to buy some engine coolant from halfords and top up the level? Just i had a look at it and it said on the bottle to drain and flush the system first, as using mixed manufacturers coolant isnt advisable. Do i have to flush the system? or can i just whack some in?

    Rear windscreen washer

    Had noticed my rear washer jet didnt seem to be squirting the water but was more of a dribble. So in preperation of 1000miles driving this weekend, i thought i would investigate. So in a spare half an hour, i whipped the spoiler off to discover the hose wasnt even connected! The reason, it...
