Is the header tank half full with water or old antifreeze?
Fill it right up with distilled water, run it and top it up again if required. I would then drain it all again which would remove more old antifreeze.Then do what you have to do to get the 50/50 mix. There is a good PDF by James1549 on renewing the antifreeze, you should read it.
