Hi again all, I've just changed my thermostat, temp gauge now behaving properly and car warming up quickly again, toasty hot inside too! Anyway the antifreeze in my system appears to be green in colour so was just wondering if I need a specific type to use for topping up. Thanks, Bikerdon.

Anything green or blue (I use Comma 'X-streem' Green) Avoid pink - it'll blugger things up. See here and here

Is it OK to mix green with blue?
