Bit of a boring question but any one have a rough idea of many litres of coolant the 76 needs? strapped for cash and just need to top up the engine oil, put a bit of petrol in and fill up the coolant and pray she now runs...but shop is a 45min walk away, then back :)
Cheers

According to the FSM the coolant capacity is 1900cc, plus 150-250cc in the resevoir.

water is the shizz..... coolant is onyl to stop your innards rusitng and stop it freezing.

You can run water for now and get coolant for the winter...

Im gonna use the coolant to stop the rust build up I think lol, thats what came out of it and theres still a bit of rust in it. 2l and maybe a top up of water should be good then. Cheers

Wait a sec, the engine is alloy and isn't the rad alloy too? This might be a daft question but where would the rust come from??

Cylinder walls are steel and some of the pipes. Don't use tap water. Use distilled water and coolant mix. I also use a water wetter on my engines to keep heat down.
