  4. Old Skool Ford Blue Anti-freeze Use code OSF01 at checkout for 10% discount Product Details Old Skool Ford Blue Anti-freeze Is a general-purpose antifreeze, based on mono ethylene glycol, containing no nitrites, amines or phosphates (NAP free). This is a antifreeze and summer coolant that provides maintenance free protection against freezing and boiling but also gives excellent corrosion protection in cooling systems when mixed with the appropriate amount of water. Often used in older vehicles or applications where a modern long-life coolant is not required. Qualube Universal Blue Anti-Freeze provides a high level of cost-effective protection to cooling systems. Typical mixtures in Northern Europe are 50/50, offering frost protection down to -40°C Benefits Freeze Protection: Contains chemicals that lower the freezing point of the coolant, preventing it from solidifying in cold temperatures. This is crucial in regions with sub-zero temperatures, as it ensures that the engine coolant remains in a liquid state, preventing damage to the cooling system. Overheat Prevention: Helps regulate the temperature of the engine by absorbing and dissipating excess heat. This prevents the engine from reaching dangerously high temperatures, reducing the risk of overheating. Corrosion Inhibition: Contains corrosion inhibitors that help protect the metal components of the engine and cooling system from rust and corrosion. This prolongs the lifespan of the cooling system and prevents damage to critical components. Cavitation Prevention: Cavitation occurs when bubbles form and collapse in the coolant, leading to pitting and erosion of engine surfaces. Old Skool Ford Blue Anti-freeze is fortified with additives that can help reduce cavitation, preserving the integrity of the engine. Boiling Point Elevation: Increases the boiling point of the coolant, preventing it from boiling over in high temperature conditions. This is important for maintaining the efficiency of the cooling system, especially in demanding situations. Efficient Cooling: Improves the efficiency of heat transfer within the engine, allowing it to absorb and dissipate heat effectively. This contributes to the overall performance and longevity of the engine. Prevention of Hot Spots: Helps ensure even distribution of temperature throughout the engine, preventing the formation of hot spots that could lead to engine damage. Meets the following performance levels: AFNOR NF R15-601(France), AS2108 (Australia), ASTM D3306 (USA), BS 6580: 2010 (UK), CUNA NC 956-16 (Italy), ONORM V 5123 (Austria), SAE J 1034 (USA), UNE 26-361 (Spain), Passes the FVV Heft R443 tests (Germany)

  11. Update from James today. He's still in hospital and as well as the speech issues he describes, he has lost the use of one arm and is very worried he won't be allowed to drive again. "Hey everyone! Things are slow improving here typing this to you with my thumb and a dumbphone. My speech is still a bit slurred but when i first arrived they asked if i was Irish but now that as therapy I have to over articulate my speech and now think im from England now! (shocked when i tell them in the hospital I was born in!) I've spilt apple juice then chocolate pudding on my gown and now it looks like i pissed and shat myself!"
  12. Bumping this thread and will delete the new one. Please keep to one sale post per item.
  13. Just heard that James (@Rally Pack 2000) is in hospital in Australia having had a stroke. Please join me in wishing him a full (and speedy) recovery.
