CHECKING THE COOLANT LEVEL
Avoid spilling antifreeze onto a hot
engine - a fire may result.
Running the engine without coolant will
cause serious engine damage.
Unscrew the filler cap slowly, allowing
the pressure to escape before removing
completely.
The coolant level in the expansion tank should
be checked weekly (more frequently in high
mileage or arduous operating conditions).
Always check the level when the system is cold.
Antifreeze is poisonous and can be
fatal if swallowed - keep containers
sealed and out of the reach of children.
If accidental consumption is suspected,
seek medical attention immediately.
If the fluid comes into contact with the
skin or eyes, rinse immediately with
plenty of water.
When travelling in territories where the
water supply contains salt, always make
sure you carry a supply of fresh (rain or
distilled) water. Topping up with salt
water will cause serious engine damage.
The use of non-approved antifreeze will
have an adverse effect on the engine
cooling system and therefore engine
durability.
The under bonnet cover must be removed to
check the coolant level. See 203, UNDER
BONNET COVERS - REMOVAL.
Make sure the coolant level remains between
the MIN and MAX indicator marks located on
the side of the expansion tank.
Antifreeze will damage painted
surfaces; soak up any spillage with an
absorbent cloth immediately and wash
the area with a mixture of car shampoo
and water.
If coolant/steam is expelled from the pressure
cap or the level has dropped suddenly, or by a
large amount, arrange for the vehicle to be
examined by a Land Rover Dealer/Authorised
Repairer as soon as possible.
Top-up to the MAX mark, located on the side
of the expansion tank. Use only a 50% mix of
water and the approved antifreeze. See 258,
LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS.
TOPPING UP THE COOLANT
The specific gravity of a 50% antifreeze solution
at 20°C (68°F) is 1.068 and protects against
frost down to -40°C (-40°F).
Never remove the filler cap when the
engine is hot - escaping steam or
scalding water could cause serious
personal injury.
