Hope it's not too expensive.

To anyone who is topping up their antifreeze, please please please make sure that you clean up any spills and put the bottle in a safe place. Antifreeze is extremely toxic to animals and cats are frequently poisoned by it.

Thankfully ours is always topped up. Do agree that spills need to be mopped up.

I know what my one dog is like and she'd love to lap any spillages up!!!

Don't forget that antifreeze is also invaluable as a summer coolant to prevent overheating, newer cars should always have the correct mixture but those of us with older cars have to keep an eye on this sort of thing.
If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.

Funds paid to date accepted as F&F 16th August 2013, the wait for completion begins.
Wait over....certificate recieved 3rd May 2014
