You're all good mate, it's slightly more complex being mid engine

(Don't read from this point on so as not to confuse anything)

Re the whole coolant debate that I seem to see frequently, I just want to say that we often say 'refer to BGB', in this instance the BGB states "use a good brand of ethylene-glycol coolant"...ill bite my tongue (or fingers I guess?) to say anymore on that

just for arguments sake, I do use Toyota red myself - it was on special as a big drum of concentrate so couldn't say no.

Do you mix the Toyota Red concentrate at 50/50?  With demineralised water from SuperCheap or the like?

I think I went with Toyotas recommendation of a 30/70 (probably ended up closer to 40/60) mix, but yes with demineralised water. I'll check what it said on the drum but from memory I think it suggested the 50/50 if you expected freezing conditions.
 
Here's the chart on my drum of Toyota red...
 
 
 

Thanks for the image, any chance of share the whole label? You've got me interested now. My bottle of toyota red must be a clear skin as it's not got that info on it.

If the price of the Toyota stuff was unreasonably high I'd argue for other red brand coolants but honestly with it being like $7 a liter when you dilute it 50/50 it does beg the question "why not" you can rest easy knowing there is nothing better and a lot of other car friends also use the Toyota red so it's favored by enthusiast and the cars.
 
Nevertheless, if you can't get it shipped out to you or its not available then other brands of red will suffice.  

Will be using the Toyota Red coolant when I get to doing mine if that helps anyone
