[Healeys] antifreeze

[Oudesluys]

Green/blue coolant cannot be mixed with red/purple. If you have the 
latter in your engine, drain it asap, flush with a radiator cleaner and 
plenty of water after removing the thermostat. Refit the thermostat and 
fill up with the proper stuff, i.e. green/blue coolant.
