1.1 Anti Freeze question - Carl 2
After reading the post from Dave V on the 25.4. I thought I should change the Anti-Freeze on the wifes 1.1 Saxo. The Haynes manual makes the job look very simple but in view of this engines reputation for head problems I would like the opinion of the experts that frequent this site . Whilst I am at it I may well fit a temperature gauge to replace the warning light. Could anyone advise on a suitable gauge/sender/and or supplying company. Many thanks.

That's a shock, in the winter I thought it was just me and the postman.

I used to live in a terrace house, side on to the beach. Bloody windy and cold.

The Valeo bulletin to which you refer, also specified quite comprehensive flushing, including removing the drain plug from the back of the block, as well as disconnecting the heater pipes (together with a warning that the connectors usually break) and flushing this seperately. Don't forget to use a top quality Antifreeze, as well as distilled water, not tap water.
