OK read a few reviews.... maybe not. Need to try it on something cheaper to repair if it goes belly up

Fascinated me when I saw Ed China put it in a car onWheeler Dealers. Said it was a lifetime solution and never reached boiling point, demonstrated by him getting engine up to temp and taking rad cap off with bare hands!! He stated that It had much better cooling and engine protection capabilities than water/coolant.
I think the car was a Jag XK or something....

There's quite a lot about it on t'internet, including Pistonheads. Consensus seems to be that it's only worth it in competition applications - I believe it's used quite a bit in drag racing for instance. Personally I wouldn't bother for a road going car.
