doing coolant swap. gotta ?
Are are you wanting to change out? Stay with the Dexcool and Distilled water cause one way or the other you will need to flush the system every 2 years so go with what Rover calls for.
mike, i just stayed with dex.
i flushed with water 5 times and still had a tinge of orange to it. and i am so **** that if i think there is a drop of old dexcool in with new green stuff then i will be uneased.
so i flushed. filled with a gallon of dexcool and topped off with distilled. ran and bleed/ burped the system.
in the mix of all this i swapped the thermostat and tried to remove to stupid plastic shield but i will need a dremel to cut it out.
painted 2 wheels black and cleaned up all the wire connections that got water and antifreeze on them.
checked the oil etc etc etc.
lubed the shafts and joints.
tonight while i paint the other 2 wheels i will also be cleaning and conditioning the leather.
