The late model Owner's handbook quotes it as 8.52 litres or 15 Imperial pints. However, when I refilled the system after changing my radiator, I only managed to get about 12 pints into it before the header tank was full. I suppose some coolant must have remained in the block even after draining the system. I also found that I had to run the car a couple of times to get all the air bubbles out of the system, each time the level in the header tank dropped and I managed to get another half pint or so in, up to the maximum of 12.
Hope this helps!
