Default Coolant change

My 02 XJR is due for some maintenance - wondering about the coolant change. Do the dealers just dump the radiator and call it a change or is a flush recommended? Anything different with the supercharger?


I was thinking of doing the coolant myself and a few other items. I normally have the dealer do the two year brake flush as it not very expensive and I hate to do it. Could have the coolant done by them at the same time.

Unfortunately ...... I still can not get it to work.


Should it just download the file?

It should open up the file into the browser window...a pdf.

Here's a direct link. Try this...or just right click, and 'save as'

Thanks for the the PDF - I am getting that strange link when I try to open many of the links.

Is that the hosting company? or have they become corrupted?

that's my personal site, as many of the documents exceed the forum upload size. That is the first time someone has had aproblem with a download. Apologies, I'll try some others from a 'random' computer at the office.

Downloaded fine from this one, H2O. Perhaps a cookie on your computer allowed the previous one to work for you (still doesn't for me)?
