I have read that phosphate free coolants are used in Europe because of the hardwater. What coolants are fellow LR owners using? Do you mix the coolant with regular tap water or distilled water? Thanks, Chris |

I think the phosphate free part has to do with aluminum corrosion...I may be wrong, but thats what I think I heard. By the way, I got the mount yesterday, and put it in last night. Looks great, fits perfectly. Awesome piece of kit. everyone who's seen it has been like "that from the dealer? Looks super clean, Nice" so thanks man, great product. |
