Hi there, according to this page....http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/engdata24v.htm ....the cossie takes 9.5 litres of coolant. The antifreeze mix should be about 50%

9.5 litres = 16.7176 UK pints, so you will actually need 8.3588 pints of antifreeze to be exact 
Not sure antifreeze comes in pints anymore though  ........maybe in Siberia possibly ?

find a local motor factor - recently got 5l of Comma xstreem green for £12.
Dont go to some local or well known car parts dealers - charge a small fortune - 1 shop wanted £5/l
