Is it safe to mix different colours of anti-freeze? I recall reading somewhere that they can react and gum up, don't know if it is true or not.

I have red in the engine now but the top-up container has blue in it. Both Halfords own brand.

Personally id flush the old out and if you can back flush the heater matrix pipes and radiator to remove any sludge.

Then re fill with your new, mix is 50/50.
