Re: ATF/ Gearbox oil

Re: It's only gone and blown the hose off!
any new rad is going to help,but just feel that there is something else going on.the stuff i tried to shift from the rad is dam near bullet proof.as we all know you have dam near rebuilt the cooling side,what about the inner water channels of the block/head.

Re: Wheel Shake over 60mph! I have had wheels balanced though.
pick a quiet piece of road, get up to wobble speed and gently apply the brakes,if it can be felt through the peddle it is likely to point to warpped discs as you say the wheels have been balanced.it could also be dirt behind the disc holding it off its mount, running out of true,remove and clean.

Re: coolant - how much, what mixture
holds 13/14litres i think,but doing a coolant change you will prob only drain out 9/10 litres out
i do 50/50 mix so you will need just over 1x5litre antifreeze and keep the rest for compatible top up mixing.
