2003 td5 coolant
Guys which coolant should I use. I'm going to flush the system and put a new rad on it tomorrow.
I was told by a friend not to use the red OAT stuff in a landy, the silicate stuff I've got is blue but looking at the landy mine is really watery but could have a pink tinge. 2014 - current ..... 2003 defender td5 90 (my car)
2009 - current .... 2005 zx10r

That's what I used in mine after I took out the engine last year, bought Halfords concentrated, they were advertising a good price online but when I went in the store it was much more expensive.
Went outside and ordered for pick up on my phone then went inside and bought at offer price.
Worth checking

Definitely use OAT (red) in your td5 Wink
I brought genuine LR coolant for mine as its what is recommended for td5. Only cost me about £36 for 6 litres of undiluted coolant and used de-ionised water to mix it.
