Top up coolant recommendations please

Looking to purchase just a Litre top up. I have a Halfords 6 miles away or should I just go to the dealer (different drive to work). If Halfords which would you advise going for, my coolant is orange in colour.

Steve. Thumbs Up 2006 2.7 TDV6 HSE in Cairns Blue.

I must admit that I use this Halfords ready mixed OAT stuff:

2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I use the Triple QX red/pink stuff from Eurocarparts and it's fine.

I always get concentrate and mix it with RODI water as it works out cheaper in the long run. Kev

Sure, but he specifically mentioned going to Halfords. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
