halfords says the red stuff is for after 1998 and blue for before, mines a 1997, what do the 406's need?

it dont matter which colour antifreeze you use
aslong as you dont mix orange & blue togheter its ok,

ive used the orange stuff in all my cars had no problems,

the orange stuff as a rust inhibitor stuff in it something called oats so igo with orange for that reason,

you dont want to try that response on a land rover forum, you would be shot at dawn!

there are differences in the anti freezes one is for later heads with alloys and such like, or so i believe.

otherwise i agree with you on the dont mix the two types

all done now, must have had quite an airlock as had to leave bleed cap off a while, does this normally happen when you drain the radiator or did i have an airlock before?

yup its normal to get air in after dumping the coolant.

have you bled off the heater and thermostat,

heater blowing out hot ?

if so itl be ok , just keep your eye on the water level if it looks low after a day or so give it a top up,

i did the stat then the heater one, yh heater is hot

hope i got all the air out, when i first tried it it was bubbling then coming out then bubbling again

jason keep your eye on the temperature display for next day or 2.

if the temp goes well over 95 stop immediately and have a go at bleeding it.

if temp stays normal then you should be ok. but keep an eye on it .

but the fans will just kick in tho so wont let it go to 95? or will it
