Bought some ethylene glycol old fashioned antifreeze.. not for my p38.. another old car

Sticker on it says..
-37c neat
-19c 67%

Normally you water it down to 50:50 to get -37c . so what's going on here?? It *looks* like concentrate.. it says it's concentrate!!
 
always had this problem, but its never been that much of an issue.. but..EAS doesnt inhibit when you open a door, yet the becm correctly identifies all doors opened or shut.. i'm hoping a bad connection somewhere but not sure where.. any ideas?
Correct inhibit relay thingy under the passenger seat with no green pins/loose connection?

Yea the relay looks fine. I did start up with it unplugged one after unplugging overnight to check for leaks, got the max 35mph warning so i know it's the right one.. plus the label on it

Just mix it 60/40 Kermie. 40 being the coolant and 60 being water. Will be fine.
 
Took him out last night for a discount pub meal. Still trying to stall cold when stopping. Warm was working well. The more we use him the better the HEVAC seems to be, although still temperamental with heat level and distribution. Suspect there will be dismantling / cleaning / lubing and possibly blend / distribution motor replacements on the horizon. Did 30 odd miles of mixed driving and tested the heated screens for the first time - both work, although the front seems a bit duff in the centre strip. Still better than the totally non-functioning one in the Ford.
Reset all adaptive values this morning when he was stone cold, then he seemed much improved, still idle speed drop but not actual stall when we stopped after setting off. Fuel trims seem a long way negative which I presume is lean? Doesn't seem to be affecting temperature or behaviour though. Went to look at a possible new place to live and had breakfast at the garden centre. Nice drive, might go to Formby tonight to see the giraffes and the ships, give him a decent length run.
 
I did surgery and organ donation. I took good brake pads from the '93 and put them on the '95.

Put my used but good spare pulley tensioner on, no more noise!
Nipped up a couple more coolant pipes.. see how we get on
Pushed the boat out.. 35 mile round trip! All seems in order!! Must still be air stuck somewhere though, no overheating but the level drops in the expansion tank, rising up again as it cools. It can only do that if something is getting compressed..
 
Headed for Formby, hit the M62 and got EAS fault alert. Checked everything at the services, nothing obviously blown or failed, substituted relay but no change. Decided on discretion and headed home.
Home, Nanocom reports fault message of compressor failure, yet it can also force it to run. All height sensors about 10 below access target value so glad we didn't push on.
Now to figure out what is up with it and fix it.

Nanocom can force it on even if thermal switch fried so guessing that has gone. Can be replaced but if it has been running enough to fry it the seal is probably gone and it may be feeding a leak somewhere.

Or you can earth the pink wire in the main pump connector to bypass the switch, but as posted it's fried for a reason.
