as a matter of interest, would water from a dehumidifier and an aircon be suitable to use if it was collected in a plastic container?

Yes

i can get hold of de-ironised water from work, we have an aircon unit and a de-humidifier both churning out water which up to now, i have been dumping but i am now letting it build up and then i will bring it home. i will also try changing the thermostat( my dad, whenever he got a new car used to remove them and chuck them in the bin)
my only problems are that i will have to tackle the flushing my self as jan has just done her nail varnish and also, i dont have access to a hosepipe. its going to be carrying buckets of water around the block
i have been using galileo for short runs and the gauge moves up occasionally but i am not pushing her. the coolant is now holding at a constant level.

cheers
