coolant

hi guys another quick question for you

i have a 4.4 autobiography range rover how much anti freeze does it take

thanks in advance

50% of the cooling system capacity. Look in your hand book.

The other 50% is up to you. I mix mine with water.

You do? Always thought you used peanut butter over there.

A bit OTT perhaps but I use distilled water to make up my coolant.

Yeah that is good but decidedly anal.

minerals in the water can plug the rad tubes up

If you find a couple of gallons of water with enough minerals in it to plug a rad tube, for christ sake don't drink it.

it may do if you fill and boil system repeatedly for years like a washing macine uses water ,though i live in very hard water area and hasnt effected our washing machine after 10000 washes ,so the few gallons going in with coolant aint going to hurt

thanks guys gonna do coolant tonight

cheers

The good ol' LZ banter...!!!

Capacity is 17.3 litres....

As attached from the handbook....

If you feel that way about it use the no water system... no minerals and no lime scale or rust
