I was driving to the garage today, bloody freezing morning!
Got just outside of town and noticed the ol' 200tdi was getting a tad warm!
pulled over and had a look under the bonnet (and to warm me hands!), noticed the return pipe to the coolant reservoir was solid with ice and ice in it as well.....ooops not enough antifreeze!
so found a petrol station and asked if they had any, they said go over the road to the land rover dealer's parts dept.
wandered in "do you sell antifreeze?"
-"yes mate, whats it for?"
-"series 3"
-"BM?"
-".......landrover:doh:"
he goes to the back. the guy next to me asks the fella serving him about why you need antifreeze specific to the vehicle. spiel spiel spiel about engine block material and bollocks. *cough*bul*****cough*ahem.
bloke comes back with a 5 litre container with the green oval on the side, uh oh, this looks deer i thought.
-"£41.99, mate!":jaw:
-"HOW MUCH!! stuff that mate, I'll go cold!"
much to the amusement of the fella in the queue
popped down to tesco, 1 litre for 3 quid, all engine types.
so whats so bloody special about this antifreeze!?!
