Came across a local seller of a car with the coveted #22 head (MB rebuilt motor!). But the guy was running green coolant and had already replaced the coolant pump, and was making a habit of checking coolant level... with leaks out the front. Hmm... passed on that one. Because the rest of the car was in POOR condition. Obviously not a maintainer.
If you've lurked enough, you know green is the devil color for coolant in these cars.
Dave, what part o' Canada are you in?

Personally, I don't think that the green coolant is all that bad. All modern cars have aluminum and plastic in the coolant loop, and enough have aluminum, plastics, and iron that any coolant you can buy today will be compatible with cooling systems containing all three of those things.
