Drain the water asap or it could freeze...not a good idea! I use blue anti freeze using 50/50 with water. Keep it in all year round. You'll need to burp the system, ie fill it then leave the rad cap off and rev it a bit to expel any bubbles. And buying it on eBay is WAY cheaper than any motor factors!
If it ticks over...leave it

According to an online database the 410 coolant capacity = 3.8 litre (6.7 pints).
