Hi there,
I've got a mini based kit car with a 4 core radiator with no heater plumbed in. I've tried to search for the 4 core radiator's capacity but can't find it from any of the suppliers. I am just trying to find out the amount of water/antifreeze mix i should put in the cooling system.
Thanks very much,
Max

If its the A series engine + heater, put 2 ltr of antifreeze in, and fill it up with distillated water, total capacity is near to 4 ltr so you'll be fine for the winter!

All good now, basically put 50/50 of antifreeze to water until at the top of the cores and will add more once it has circulated around the engine.
Thanks
