Hi all, hope someone can help me or allay my concerns over the following: I have recently purchased a D3 2005 plate with only 37k on the clock. It has had a recent service and new MOT. All appears fine apart from the fact I get a message "low coolant level" every time I start and finish a journey. I have checked the coolant level and this appears fine and the temp gauge never rises above halfway and the engine is not overheating. I have only driven relatively short journies. Grateful for any advice. Fledge

its a common failure in earlier coolant tanks.
the float becomes porous and then doesnt err float anymore.
Its about £30 for the new tank and not difficult to change. Bodsys Brake Bible

Mine used to do it when accelerating hard. Replaced and fault gone.

Many thanks for the quick reply. As I have a 3 month warranty I will get a new tank. Apologies for sending the topic twice. Am an IT dinosaur!!
