was driving on motorway and could hear wind in car thought one of the windows was slightly open but no it seemed to come from small side window on drivers side or side of windscreen  just wondering if windscreen need resealed as getting water in drivers footwell anyone help also how do i change coolant and what one do i use    HAPPY EASTER   [FUN]

If there is a suspect area I usually put some masking tape over and go for a drive to see if noise changes/goes,if it is screen you will need a specialist to sort it out.

As for coolant drain from the drain tap on near side of rad if fitted or drop bottom hose off,I took hoses off boost heater also to get majority of old out.
Get some pre mixed coolant g12 or g13 if memory serves correctly. You will need 8 odd litres for whole system.
While drained check the restrictor in small hose to expansion bottle isn't blocked.
Warming up can take an age with these I found 15 minutes idling and then checking level before heading off on a drive worked well. When driving stop regular to check and top up level. Try and get car to 90 degrees test heater is warm and drive round for a good few miles like that,once home switch off slowly remove cap and leave it off. Re check level once been stood a while and cooled. Keep an eye on level over a few days.
