Toyota advertise several different coloured coolants
Red, Pink, Green and Blue (possibly others)
Blue is for the GT86 it seems
Have no information about differences in the other coloured fluids
Or which is most suitable for the 4A-GE
Any ideas

Thanks Lauren
Toyota online recommended pink
Local dealer stocks only pink but can get red for me for 46.69 gross

Red/Pink, all the same... it doesn't really matter.

The BGB says

" Use a good brand of ethylene-glycol base coolant mixed according to the manufacturer's directions"

Yes
The Comma X-stream coolant, which Halfords recommend for the Mk1 isn't called Ethylene Glycol
It's called Glysantin (a BASF trade name)
May be just another name for the same thing, but I decided not to take any chances Jimi
Can't go far wrong with Mr T's own product
I've received some today from Toyota Online at a much better price than that quoted by the local dealer
