royaub Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Hi All I'm soon going to be doing my first full service. I'm alright with all the other oils and lubricants but I'm not sure about the antifreeze. I have a 1995 defender 110 deisel. Can anybody offer any advice on a good quality antifreeze and on the amount to use as I want to compeletely drain it and renew it all with new, ready for the winter. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 For UK use a 33 to 50% mix is more than adequete, I used Halfords own antifreeze/summer coolant last time, it's nice orange colour. a 5 litre container should be sufficient. Antifreeze 5 litres Cat code: 147785-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbs Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Ralph, the last time I needed to replace any antifreeze-it was on my 90 I think, I looked at Halfords and even with my trade card it was going to be over £20 for one 5 litre plastic can-I then went to the local car parts place that deals with the motor trade and got the same amount for just over £10 it does pay to have a look elsewhere as we all know Halfords can be a bit of a rip off at times HTH John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
