In my '79 (has a '74 engine) it has Ethylene Glycol, green stuff, which i used based on the owners manual recommendation. I believe this would be the same for yours. The manual i have covers 1st gens, too, let me check for you tonight... |

I've been using the pink stuff in everything for years, it's a more modern formula with better corrosion inhibitors than the older blue and green antifreeze, it's also rated for longer life (5 years compared to 2 on average) ... Allegedly you shouldn't mix them though.. |

I didn't sorry, was working in the garage for a lot longer than expected, didn't get in till 1am  I'll be checking first thing when i get home tonight. Mine had the green stuff in it too, i bought this Comma concentrate G48 stuff from Halfords, but in 5 litre. Used it to replace the fluids in the 2nd gen and use it to top up the 3rd gen:http://www.halfords.com/motoring-travel ... nt-conc-2l |
