Got a Haynes manual?

If not, you should get one...loads of useful information.

Couldn't do without mine!

Whatever it is, it will be just a little more what than you mixed up in the bucket.
Mike Allen

All very facetious but not much help to you Mike so I will tell you 6 english pints.
Robert (Bob) Midget Turbo

Not being facetious at all, merely trying to help!

I've owned quite a few vehicles over the years & have purchased a Haynes manual for every one. Loads of good information at a reasonable cost.

I keep one for my Spridget in my library (bathroom) & study it before each new project.

Just trying to be helpful...

Mike, all this is in the Wiki

still that's me...

Quite so Bill, Dave do you not think being helpful would have been to look up the capacity and post it here for the benefit of Mike?
Robert (Bob) Midget Turbo

Thanks for your replies, both helpful and otherwise. Somewhere I have a Haynes manual but cant find it at present. At least I know how much anti freeze to buy, It hasn't been changed for about 5 years.

Done!

Mix it 50/50 & you can't go wrong...I've been doing that for years and never had a problem.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for life.

I am afraid I know nothing about fishing Dave, (I must have missed out in life at some point) but here is a website that may help you if no one else can help.
