What is reccomended coolant for engine ? there is a very thin oily substance in the coolant reservoir which we took to be a sign of cylinder head gasket failure but perhaps this engine uses some kind of synthetic high temperature coolant rather than glycol/ watermixture many thanks
I'd say you're on the right track with the coolant. Usually if it was oil from a blown head gasket, it'd look more like gunk than a thin slick. The type of coolant you need can vary upon your weather conditions. Antifreeze is sometimes a must.

NO WATER IN THE OIL, REMINDS ME OF UNDILUTED CUTTING FLUID, AS THIN AS VEGETABLE OIL. ALSO HAVE CHECKED CONTENTS OF SUMP, OIL A BIT OLD, NEEDS CHANGING, BUT OTHERWISE FINE (NO WATER ) THANKS FOR YOUR HELP
Do you have water in the oil?
