North West baby!

Lol, nah, they charge like $90-$100 for 80% used tires. So unless you get a good used set, just wack some new cheapies on. Sure Mick can sort you out

Poor thing

I have a question about radiators..

when you take off the cap, you should be able to see the coolant/water right?

also, how important is the mixture of coolant/water? As long as there's *some* coolant in there can you get away with filling it up with mostly water... if it only has to last about a week?

[Shell]

ooh I just noticed something!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CEJAY!!!

[SKYLVIA]

Beau what size do you want?

The rims are 17x8 +28

I don't know if tyre measurements are different, I've never had to have tyres replaced... last time they were bald i bought my new rims...

Yes you should be able to see the water and it should be green (most coolant is green).

The mixture of coolant and water is very important, the coolant is a corrosion inhibitor (helps to reduce rust) and is also the reason that your "water" doesnt boil as it has a higher boiling point than normal water.

I would get some coolant into it ASAP...

i thought you werent meant to use tap water if possible it should be distilled water or some other type that has a lot less of the other chemicals in it.

[Shell]

yeah it's the minerals in the tap water.

Well I have put in 1 litre of coolant and the rest water.

And I have fixed up the crack with this hard setting putty stuff. So far so good - I made it to work today! Yay! Soooo sick of paying for cabs! (huge hugs to veilside for giving me a lift last night).

[Bullet32]

Yeah, youre supposed to use demineralised water to help stop rusting, but coolant nearly always has a rust inhibitor in it to help keep the system clean.

Shell - was it one litre of coolant pre mix or coolant concentrate? The concentrate stuff will make about 7 litres out of one bottle.
