Default Coolant

Just checked coolant resevoir level for the first time since Ive owned the 2004 Fiesta, was below minimum despite coolant change by Ford service 20 months ago, sounds like a leak? or maybe they used short lived coolant? and despite scheduled service 7 months ago. So I topped up level with Nulon Red Long Life Top-Up Coolant which conforms to Ford standard WSS-M97B44-D. Didnt do a full flush just topped up level. Did I do right thing?

Topping it up should be OK - that's what I do (unless I've been doing it wrong!).

You'll need to check the coolant (and other fluids) more frequently than that, though. Every week or two would be good, and your car will love you for it.
