If you put your registration number into Halfords it will tell you which ones will suit... |

I did do that and Halfords comes up with the silicate variant where as I have read some posts on here saying I need the OAT type so was just trying to confirm.... 2005 (55) Range Rover 4.2 Supercharged Vogue SE Java Black |

If you already have orange (OAT) in then use that. Don't mix as the blue and orange react and form a gel like substance which clogs the system (so I have reliably been informed). There is lots on here ref coolant so a search might provide further authority. |

Thanks for the replies folks, have searched several times and yet again get conflicting advice.

Halfords checker can't be right as it comes up with every type of coolant under the sun for my FFRR when I put the registration in, G48, G40, OAT, Silicate based, etc. Don't know if that's just me?

Halfords brings up silicate and g48 based on my reg number.

Having just had my oil cooler changed by my outstanding, 25 yr LR experienced indie, along with a full coolant change, he has put this in. But mines a diesel 4.4TDV8 - just seen yours is a SC 4.2 so may be different.

I use Prestone in any car I needed it for, it will mix with any car coolant no need to worry.
