Using anti-freeze: To avoid the possibility of the cooling system freezing whilst the vehicle is stationary, or whilst being driven in very cold weather, it is recommended that an anti-freeze mixture is used, and added in the quantities recommended by the anti-freeze manufacturers. We recommend an anti-freeze mixture based on inhibited

ethylene glycol. Mixtures using alcohol as a base are not suitable, as this will cause loss of anti-freeze by evapora-tion. Before putting anti-freeze compounds of any kind in the cooling system, it is imperative that the cylinder heads and all hose connections are checked for tightness, as these compounds have a very searching effect and should any leak into the oil sump, very serious damage may occur
