He did but on next drive it again popped up with "check coolant". Which led to my " oh hell, did he put wrong stuff in? And " has it sludged".

It won't sludge, that's when anti freeze goes into the screen wash

The 'other' site, the grown up one, says mixing the blue and the pink can cause sludging, and screw up the radiator. Hence worrying.It won't sludge, that's when anti freeze goes into the screen wash

Mixing certain different colour anti freeze can and will make it go like jelly the problem is getting it drain out again, in my experience it won't damage the rad had to deal with somebody car while ago that had done this.

Depends on what he used some can be mixed, Prestone do a "green" coolant that can go with most other colours, however if he has used mixed an IAT with OAT they you can get a sludging issue for want of a better description.
Getting it flushed with the correct coolant isn't too difficult however i'd look in to where the coolant is going, if you do indeed have a leak..

Yaaaay bonnet cable fixed.
But going to throw an unrelated issue to the collective: can I spray WD40 into the CD player? It has decided it can't move far enough to catch the trays. Resulting in 'no CD' message. TIA

I wouldn't to be honest.
Probably dust causing the issue and WD40 will turn it into a solid sludge.
I would open it up, blow it out with compressed air and if anything does need more cleaning use ipa.

Thanks. Might give it a gentle blow ( @Mark Piercy,no young man no!) in situ. It's a massive job to get the unit out, and I don't have the time to have her off the road.
