Should it be blue or pink? The looklet just says L250.

The coolant in there needs changing as its gone a rusty brown colour. Probably not changed as car has only done very low mileage.

Appreciate any help or in a car this age does it matter so long as the anti freeze meets BS standards.

The coolant i bought recently from a Nissan dealer was green and it might pay to you to buy it there as it was a similar price to the universal type products in Halfords, and you will know that you have the correct stuff.

At this age, you should use OAT antifreeeze. No idea what colour Nissan's is. Toyota's (and Halfords) is red.
