Any colour you like, bud, so long as it's the same as what's in. Colour means nothing.
Try a decent motor factor, ask for anti-freeze for an alloy engine.
If doing a coolant change, or even a heavy topping up, PLEASE read my post about coolant change, there's a right and a wrong way to refill.......

Just found the following when draining down the coolant system.
Its like a brown / orange staining throughout the system.
It doesn't feel oily and wont rub over the header cap.
It had the Halfords OAT anti freeze (pink / orange colour).
Is this just staining or something more serious?
