I'd be surprised if the car doesn't have antifreeze in it already - it's typically something that is put into all brand new cars, and not something that the owner has to put in themselves (only top up perhaps). Check by opening the bonnet, and looking to see if the water is a blue/green colour. If it is, then it has antifreeze in it. Don't get mixed up with the radiator water and the windscreen washer bottle though - the windscreen water could be blue due to the screenwash!
It's snowing!!!
Hi
I've had my '07 mini one since last Sep. I've just noticed the snow outside (in central London) and was rather worried about the fact that I've never put anti-freeze in my car!!
My car is parked in a well lit underground car park, but it is not 100% immune from the cold!!
Question: before I purchased the car, the dealer had the car valeted. Would the mini dealer already put anti-freeze in the car? If not, then the next question would be if u guys thought my car will be ok as it's parked in a car park.
Thks!! :smile:

Don't worry, you should be fine! The temperature itself isn't that cold and your MINI should be able to cope with the cold without any issues.Hi

Thanks for help/re-assurance, I've checked and my car certainly has anti-freeze!
Being as most of the transport system in London has shut down (so no work - yippee!!), Il think I'll get aquainted with this booklet that came with the car - I think it's called a manual!!
Enjoy the snow!!!
