The little tin of Castrol coolant and DE-MINERALISED WATER {IMPORTANT}. A bottle of Bars Leak, just the pellets if you remove the radiator.
I run this in my rally car with an aluminium radiator. Temp runs between 85 and 95 all day in competition.
You do not need glycol, IMHO, unless you live in an area that gets below freezing.
My 2 cents.
Cheers

At the risk of getting flamed, I use the red Toyota coolant in all my daily drivers. That be a Honda CRV, Pajero and a Ford fucus. None are ever driven to the point of getting hot, but over the years I have found the cars running it tend to not suffer from ally corrosion as bad as cars I have had run on the green shit. $0.02

And tonight, on Dougmo's advice, just got a hold of some of that redline water wetter. I've never looked into it until now, and from what the seller was telling me and the reviews I've read now, it seems like really good shit. If you just run the water wetter and distilled water, it claims something like 10 degree cooler running. I have completely bled the race car of coolant and have put this stuff in tonight, have a race on Thursday so will see if it lives up to the claims. (race car is running stupidly hot atm)
