It's a bit like that now Sometimes dies I think the coolant and engine oil need changing. I fucked the coolant up by putting in to much water

why don;t you look in the hand book for what oil it takes. probably 10w40 semisynth. as for topping up your rad do it with 50/50 water/coolent.

I haven't got a hand book, only the service book which says nothing about oil.

I just read a bit of the Haynes Manual and it says you should use the same anti freeze when topping up. I only put half a cup full in anyway so should be OK.

I'll get my arse down to Halfords tomorrow and get some oil and anti freeze

Halfords has the booklet thing, you look up the car and it tells you what Pug recommend you put in it, and what grade.
