Is this right? Is it not supposed to be distilled water?
I bought this stuff >> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-TOYOT ... 0744453858

If thats the stuff you bought its not concentrate - That is the correct pre-mixed stuff - you just put it in as is. Don't dilute it.

But it says concentrated on the lable Mike, but I would read the label and see what it recommends?

Edit:-

Just had another look and the description says pre mixed, so not sure what you have bought?

Yep I was going by the text. I've only ever used the premixed stuff in my car.

Also distilled and deionized probably wont matter too much between the two when it come to automotive use.

I always thought demineralised so that you don't get limescale etc. build up in the engine. Looking it up, de-ionised is another term for this. Distilled is effectively more pure so should be ok.

Check the bottle to see if you have concentrate or pre-mixed as both are available. TCB sell pre-mixed only, our local Toyota sell concentrate only.

Think you need to get a new radiator.

yep, got on to TCB today and had a bit of a heated discussion about it. Going to sent it back and see what happens...
I have repaired it twice but this is getting silly now. Not holding my breath on a refund as I don't have the receipt and I have made repairs to it...
