although i did see this in regards to the original....
many antifreeze suppliers have introduced Universal Coolantor Global Coolant products that are one-size-fits-all coolants claimed to be compatible with ANY new vehicle cooling system

My mate has a Rover diesel, the fuel in it looks red, does that mean I can only put red coloured fuel in??

To re-cap, you ask US what colour to put in, then when we say check, you say it is too low to see. WTF. Unclip a hose.

Mind it will probably be brown sludge

Zero point to your original post as we cannot help you in any way without seeing the car.

rover/mg tend to use long life anti freeze, florecent pink when new (at least the newer cars are) no need to see any car.

Will not make a blind bit of difference hat antifreeze you use as it ill still pop its headgasket.
Personally i would use salty water as antifreeze in a rover, with a top up of piss every so often.

" Go into a motor factors, "yes id like some boggo anti freeze please" yeah right "

You really are a gom, guess what they'd say....how much do you want probably! There is such a thing as standard antifreeze, which is what you need you thick cunt.
