Going to clean and flush out the cooling system this weekend and local Dealer has given me the choice of the typical Etheyne Glycol or the strange Red pre-mixed coolant.
However they cannot tell me what the Japs would have put in there.
Any ideas Question

Result Exclamation The pre-mixed red solution has done the trick as gauge has come down a tad. Might have had something to do with the coolant and the %$"ed pressure cap as well.
Just to prove it's worth shopping around, Ebay caps were approx £9.00 more expensive that the main dealer, in some cases more if you included the postage.
Morale of the story......... shop around a bit more Smile
