Is Forte really that good?  The price sort of makes the Wynes stuff look like CocaCola.  :P

It realy is that good.......and given that you only in theory use it once to get your cooling system back to a known state before the following stanadard 2 year coolant changes with 50:50 anti freeze mix......and given that its only about the same as one round on a night out these days.....is it REALY that expensive?

True, if you put it that way.  I'm going to buy some now so should be able to flush out this weekend.  I take it that as there is no mention of coolant brand that any brand will do?

Do Vx even sell coolant on TC?

Yes they do.....less than 10 quid for 5 litres of red antifreeze......which when mixed 50:50 is enough for a V6.

That's be a good idea, maybe we could add the supplier info to the how2 - if there is one that is?

I bought mine from ebay in the end, £16 delivered.  :y
