what type of anti-freeze goes into a '97 thundercat? The manual was far from helpful. It's an aluminium engine/radiator so I believe I need an OAT anti-freeze

Also, the headlight is displayed as a European standard. The pattern goes flat and then to the right. Is there a way to change the pattern so that the pattern goes flat and to the left? or should I just use a beam adjuster kit from halfords to make a flat beam?

Regular inhibited ethylene glycol coolant is fine.

You can't adjust the beam pattern other than for height and direction; if you want a RHD light pattern you'll need to replace the headlight. They go for £40 or so on eBay. A beam adjuster will make you 'legal' but given the dreadful headlight on the Thundercat as it is, anything designed to reduce light output further can't be a good thing.
