Mayo.......huwwwww scrap it rushy.

I fail to see why you would want the car to run cooler, it was designed to run at a certain temp so unless you modify elsewhere there is no need to play around. Mine is a bog standard elite and that's fine for me.

Mayo usually comes with breathing or condensation problems

That's what i mean by condensation, because the engine never really gets thoroughly warmed through the oil gets droplets of condensation, over a period it mixes with the oil and emulsifies (mayo), old fords used to suffer quite badly with it.(y)

Just to let you know, new stat, 5 litres of antifreeze = £13 job sorted 🙂:finger:

Great price. I need to do the spark plugs and fuel filter on the corsa this week coming, n mite drop a bit of antifreeze in aswell.

vpm

Good idea to at least check ant-freeze as it's getting colder now.

We are doing a long trip closer to xmas so want to do the plugs and fuel filter cos I ant done them yet on the corsa. So its a good time to do it.
