Coolant

[dave.j.robbo]

ooh buggar! i just ran out there and done that - wish you'd clarified that sooner!

i'm assuming people are having a larf though and that they do know about coolants and where they go....aren't they?

I hope so.... BUT... last week there was a bloke who got done for having veg-oil instead of brake fluid!!!

Un be-flippin-lievable!!

I thought that was one of those threads i'd dreamed i'd read!!! the guy had veg oil in brake lines instead of brake fluid is that right?

Excellent - i love whats happening to the human mind these days...so is it global warming, GM foods, subliminal messaging through the TV, mercury fillings, mobile telephones, water contamination or false immunisation at school?

i'm surpised the original thread didn't get a massive response, it's totally bizarre.

yea but it takes a thread like this to bring another to life

What I want to know is, what were the police doing checking the brake fluid anyway

[logey79]

must have been a tip off, or maybe,(and i guess none of us will ever be stupid enough to find out) there really may have been a hell of a stink coming from the wheels accompanied by leaking?

go give it a try Vince tell us if it does smell!!!

[BUSHWHACKER]

I've just washed the truck and now I'm getting in the bath!

[logey79]

(BTW any plod reading, i'm having a larf! he don't drive til sunday so the results won't be available til then!)

Nope. Just thick buggers.

Sorry to go back to the original post, coolant/antifreeze also stops the inside of your engine rusting up. The different properties, ie ethlien glycol just means the longer periods between changing the stuff. The better it is the langer it can stay in the system before you have to do it again.
Also it can be down to temperture ranges.

also very good in surfs without the modified head, because that nice sweet smell lets you know your head's fcuked when it flows into the motor!
