ah, im getting this now, im coming across as a thicko newbie, but i am not.(please read in a nice tone), my original enquiry was questioning the use of coolant as was confused as to where the radiator came into the picture(cant spell akwayshun!!!). And the freelander haynes manual is as useful as our government-not useful at all, so ive cut out a 4"x4" square out of each page and use it for hiding my stash. Im confused as to what the orange oats thing is and ploughing my own furrows!! im not from norwich, im from fishy grimsby.But thanks again for all the information, and of course, for being gentle.
