Low Coolant Warning

I'd welcome your opinions on this problem ... everyone is usually so helpful here.

The Low Coolant Warning sign came on today.

I looked in the bottle and it is a few inches from the top of the tank.

I had a full 7 year service done at Land Rover 7 weeks ago.
Should they fix this ?

If its not their responsibility can I top it up with ready mixed fluid from Halfords ?

Level sensor faulty, You need a new coolant expansion bottle. As do I, just waiting to find one at a reasonable price.

Should the coolant bottle be full to the top ?

OK....It's up to the marked level so the diagnosis of a faulty gauge is correct.

Thanks to you all.

Hi all!

Tried removing my own coolant bottle, and can get everything loosened up apart from I cannot get access to the lower hose to unclip it...

Is there any tips anyone can give me to help? I.e do I have to remove the headlight and then other Items? And also if anyone has any tool tips to get access. Cheers Lewis

Replaced mine last week and followed the guide on here.

Headlight out and doesn't take long after that and also cured the low coolant warning

Headlight out and you have enough room to undo the lower hoseclamp.
