50/50 water to Antifreeze. The cooling system takes around 6L so 3L of antifreeze
'94 S-Special 1800 in BLACK
Flares and 225/45 Semi Slicks.

Make sure you run it long enough for the fan to run and the thermostat to open when you are refilling
Avoid getting an airlock they seem a bit fussy on this

Or take the thermostat out and fiil it from there, then top up in the radiator...
