What antifreeze would you recommend using then? I'm due a change so would prefer to use some that won't cause me problems down the line as mine is not one of the plastic ones.

Here you go matey, other makes are available (Bluecol is reputable) look for the same BS 6580 and a declaration its OAT free

Thanks CooperMan. I've noticed it says it is OAT free. I'm sure OAT was recommended for my model (2004 roadster). I guess it'll need a full flush to get rid of the OAT, as I've heard some coolant should not be mixed.
