Discovery 2 cooling questions
Why is my Land Rover losing coolant?
Start with an external check for leaks at hoses, plastic pipes, the expansion tank, radiator, water pump and heater connections. If there is no visible leak, a cooling system pressure test can find hidden leaks, and a combustion gas test checks for a head gasket or EGR cooler problem.
What coolant should I use in my Land Rover?
Use the coolant type specified in your owner's handbook, mixed with clean water in the stated ratio. Do not mix coolant types, as some are incompatible. Plain water gives no corrosion protection.
