Help with antifreeze
very new to maintaining my own car, need to do the anti freeze apparently, driving 480ES, any help on what to do and how to do it, before i make a mistake, by trying on my own would be great. Newly separated mum of 3 who needs the car to work over the winter.

Hi Witchone,
On reading your two messages I got an image from Harry Enfields' show with the Liverpudlians running around, 'calm down, calm down'.
I cannot remember the exact procedure for checking the content of antifreeze but I am sure one of our friends on this site will. Pretty straightforward and the worse case is pop into Halfords and they will check it at no cost and advise how much you need to add.
Regards
Chris

Last service was May 2003, have a service booked for next month, when my money situation should be better. I am hoping to go to the 480 meet as long as my car is working fine. If its still in May then i should have fun big time as both mine and new partners birthdays fall that weekend. My new partner is a life long friend, who is also godfather to my children, he was born two days before me and has always lived next door to my parants, he came to visit me when the situation arose with my husband, and we have now entered a relationship together. But he doesnt love my car as much as me, he loves his punto power.
