done a quick search and cant find the answer, so what coolant do I use in a 2005 Tamora?

The Manuel says "Carplan blue star/ Carplan 5 star long life". It also rather crassly says "TVR use and recommend Carlube products. Failure to use these products could effect vehicle performance and reliability and may also invalidate the warranty."

I have no idea where to buy carplan products and would rather have a spec so I could know what to put in!

Thanks
Graham

I cannot imagine it makes any difference - the engine is alloy, so as long as there is protection I don't see it matters what you use. TVR have a deal with Carlube, so they are bound to push the products.

My 2002 Tam recommends Mobil Antifreeze, 50:50 with water.

Available from Halfords and seems to do the job.
