Not having much fun with this bloody car, just done a 30mile round trip and a hose has burst spraying what appears to be a greenish liquid all over the engine...........ARGH

Had it over 2 weeks i think and driven it a total of about 40-50 miles

Coolant hose? Check which one it is. The smaller coolant hoses sometimes split near the ends, which you might be able to bodge back on by trimming a little of the hose off

If it is coolant make sure you get the right coolant to refill as you cant mix particular coolant types.

The problem, @Zombie Tickler, is jealousy.

This is a Prelude forum and your new Honda is mightily offended by the Ford Escort on your avatar and is punishing you for it - that's the only reasonable explanation I can come up with.

Change it for your 'Lude and I reckon your problems will be over

And how much would i need assuming its empty ?

AFAIK to fill the system from empty is almost 7 litres - 6.8/6.9? Someone will know for sure, I'm sure
