Which brand of coolant is correct for 99 XJ8
JTIS says I should use coolant of this spec ESD-M97B49-A for my 99 XJ8 (Vin 876xxx). However this does not directly translate into the brands available with my local suppliers, eg Halfords, Sureparts etc (UK).
Having looked at a sample from the header tank the current coolant appears to be yellow, actually, you could say it has the colour of urine. Thankfully not the smell.
I know you should not mix different types so which brands of coolant available on the UK market would be correct for my car ?
The yellow stuff in the car would have been supplied at on of the previous main dealer services.

It looks like Halfords own brand fits the bill.

I have the same problem....had an emergency on the weekend where it overheated so filled up with what I had (VW Quantum antifreez with similar required properties) with a view to flush and refill soon. Also, try this thread for a more long term solution:

Found this Ford product which is "Yellow". http://www.fcsdchemicalsandlubricant...oling Products Antifreeze/Coolant Concentrated&category=A/C and Engine Cooling Products
Whats the chances that yellow Spec. WSS-M97B51-A1 is the same as D542 ? Any way to check ?
