EsC Cos coolant mixture and Amount
Away to flush out the coolant system and replace the header tank at the same time on the cossie as dont know when it was changed last and its looking bit murky in the old header tank.
How many litres does it take to fill up the coolant system in a esc cos on a standard radiator and what mixture % of water to coolant should i put in.
thanks........steve

I know its 50/50, I bought the 5yr coolant from Halfords so I don't have to do it every 2 yrs.
Can't tell you how much you need though, I normally buy the 5 Litre bottles.

for some reason my escos used 8.5 to 9L
well it took all 10 but when i put the head back on i forgot to replace the hose near the dipstick so it was pissing out for about 10/15 seconds 
ohh and i have got a swirl pot and turbo Pre rad to fill so that may of taken the rest

Hows the best way to get rid of all the brown water?
Ive changed all the coolant before in previous cars but it still was a bit of a dark blue colour.
Any tips?
