Yes and in that time he's probably realised how much more money there is in selling pre-mix.

I've no idea why pre-mix is even available as there's never a need for it.
It's a bit like a pub selling shandy on draught.

Of curiosity - you have p/n of this pre-mix bottle? or pic maybe?
Did the reflush alteast twice within last 3 years, always had concentrate from dealership as only thing available so interesting to see what they sold you.

This has been available for many years but rarely sold in the UK ...

Buying ready mixed antifreeze is just handing over pound notes to the seller!
Why would you want to pay such exorbitant prices for a high percentage of water: ~

The priority is the correct antifreeze for the car in a concentrated form that you dilute- please don’t be fooled by pre-mixed (unless you want to waste your money)

It is probably meant for countries with poor water supplies , we don't realise how lucky we are in UK having drinking water freely available ...

I have a bottle of pre-mix.

Will try and get a picture up tonight/at the weekend.

It cost me £5 from the dealer. But that was at Christmas time, the parts guy reckoned he had more in stock than what the computer said and told me if I had the cash, I could have it for a fiver [and the cash would go into the Christmas fund hahaha!].

A normal full strength bottle is slightly less than that so you are paying double the price for no reason .

That was for a 4 litre bottle though, which I thought was a decent price.

well if it is £5 for 4 litres of premix then it is half the price of the concentrated as one litre of concentrate for say £5 makes 2 litres of ready mixed ... something not right somewhere , why isn't everyone buying ready mixed ? :-)
