    I’ve just put Halfords OAT coolant in mine, £16 with trade card for 5 litres so enough for another change. Haynes manual says any OAT coolant is ok.

    Thank you all.

    Can I get this locally, or can I get my OATs away?

    :D

    You can get it at Halfords or Eurocarparts etc, however if you try and get your oats there you may run into problems.;)

    It should be fine OAT is usually not recommended for older engines that have copper radiators with soldered joints.
