yeah you might need a twin filament globe, it could be closing the parker circuit.

it should be alright if its something like 60/40 but you dont want too much coolant because it needs water mixed with it to bring it to its best. if you don't add enough water it wont be long untill the coolant life is up and then it actually becomes corrosive

Did you drain the block rhinoman?

Juzsvy,

I've got a VS 5 litre and was wondering when u refer to draining the block - are u meaning to drain the coolant where radiator hose goes to the water pump/block? Or somewhere else?

Your clarification needed pls.

Cheers Freakme

under the left exhaust manifold there is a bolt inbetween the last welsh plug and the middle one. undo that and you should get about another litre or so of old coolant out
