Default recomended coolant

hey guys, i am taking my 96 D1 with approx. 90,000 on it into have quality lube do a coolant flush today. my question is, if i started pink then went green (amature i know) what should i have them put in? what is the land rover standard? and what is the best? cause i'm in redding and 100+ is very common. I'm having the flush done because she wont stop pissing coolant through to over flow hose.

thanks again

Yeah, have them do a complete flush and then switch back to the green stuff. Make sure that it all comes out.

If you already have DexCool in your trk then you should stay with DexCool, unless you to a complete flush. If you do have DexCool then you need to change it every two years. LR recommends every 3 yrs or 45,000 miles, whichever is sooner. I dont like DexCool, in my honest opinion it is junk, my customers are mechanics and they all say the same thing. Except the ones at the GM dealerships of course.

If that doesnt do it then you will need to take it to a radiator shop.
