For optimum cooling, it's best to use the smallest proportion
of
aluminum-compatible anti-freeze commensurate with
your local temperatures. Pure water has the best heat
transfer rate of all but you must always use coolant or
additive that prevents aluminum corrosion. We've had
good results by adding
Red Line Water Wetter too.
JACKING
FRONT
The car can also be jacked up on the lower control arms at
the ball joint (be careful not to damage the grease fitting),
or the front crossmember as shown. The jack will (barely)
fit by going in diagonally just in front of a front wheel,
avoiding the oil cooler scoop.
H\fjack
REAR
Jack up by the differential or the crossmember just in front
of the differential. The Jaguar suspension can be jacked on
the outer end of the control arm or the hub carrier, the ERA
suspension, just under the hub carrier.
