Then came the instillation, after a long 6 months of collecting parts and getting it all sorted, but she’s back in and up and running

personally take the Evans "waterless coolant" out and flush / replace with something else.................
its 'snake oil' (allegedley) IMO and does nothing but increase engine temps and ultimately will cause damage

I'll be honest mate, I did loads of research and spoke to a lot of people about the coolant and as my car isn't a daily it can sometimes be sat in the garage for weeks on end so a water based coolant isn't really suitable for my requirements
people will always have different views and opinions on products but rest assured if I have any issues with it I'll be putting it on here , but I appreciate the feedback anyway

you obviously swallowed the salesman's "guff" hook line and sinker.............why do you think a water based mix would cause any issues with long term storage as long as its done correctly??
in basic terms all you have done is fill your car with neat anti-freeze and whilst still not correct you would have achieved the same thing far cheaper!!
what most of these "waterless" set-ups lack is any actual cooling ability!!!
