I would presume that the Jaguar recomendations refer to frost protection as they quote different concentrations for Europe and North America. Maybe the minimum 25% refers to corrosion protection.
Yes, anyone had experience with waterless coolant?

Re: Antifreeze concentration
I have always understood that leaks are more likely when antifreeze is present in the coolant. Maybe difference between 25% and 50% isn't relevant. The only references that I can find regarding concentration refer to level of protection against sub zero ambient temperatures.

Re: Series 1 Boot light
Thanks for the responses. According to the Jaglover site it may not be a mercury switch and could be a ball switch. As a sealed unit not easy to tell which though when I replace it will I be able to resist further investigation ? - probably not a good idea if it is mercury! At least the MOT tester m...

There is a 12V supply to the bulb holder but not at the contact inside with the holder. Discovered an in line item in the bulb holder which is a perspex cylinder wi...

Heated Windscreen
I'm thinking of fitting a heated windscreen as my original is peppered with micro chips and I hear of poor fit problems with standard triplex screens. Have any members had any experience with the heated screen sold by Paul Castaldini?
