Have I missed anyone ??

Thats 16 peeps...I have 18 x1 ounce bottles on the way (I hope)

I have another 8 shot bottle (in 3/4 weeks) which I can decant.

If the list gets much longer I will order another load of 1 ounce bottles from the US.

Nice one Haydn, I take it the invoice will be in with it or will it come separate.

Hi Haydn
Could you put me down for some fluid from the Second Batch....or is it, as they say in the movies...."Son of Detector Fluid....the Second Batch". I shall be doing another complete coolant change in the spring/ summer, and it would be a waste to put it in now....and I'd never find the bottle....there's so much junk in the barns and workshop!!!!....Keep up the good work, and treat yourself to a flak jacket :wink: 8) =D> =D> =D>
Cheers
Helen

As it is fairly expensive to buy a small quantity for personal use I have taken it upon myself to buy a "bulk" 'ish
amount which I will pass on at cost price. It will be supplied in 1 fluid ounce "shots" I understand a V6 requires a half ounce shot per treatment. It will not affect the colour of your coolant and can stay in the coolant for 2 years. As well as the dye you will need a UV torch such as
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-Modes-41-LED-To ... 240%3A1318
The cost of a 1 ounce shot will be £5.50 delivered.
Let me know
Oh !! the fluid is Tracerline 3940
Oh ! Oh ! I should have it within a week
Got the torch. It's very sexy, disco-wise. Any confirmation the stuff's coming over yet? Got a hose to get changed plus coolant swap/system check, and will hang fire until the dye can go in at the same time.

I would guess another 7 days should see it with me....go ahead and do the jobs....the fluid can just be added at any time.

Thanks. Yes, realised that but had in mind to have the dye in to help keep a close eye on the system after the jobs are done. Won't have the hose until probably Tuesday, so will PM you when I have it to see if there's any update then.
