So. If you take the engine cover off and look down into the depths there is IIRC pink coolant in the V of the engine.

I think I'm suffering from PTSD, just reading this post and I'm sure i could smell hot coolant mixed with exhaust gases If the coolant pipes aren't rock hard and you're not losing coolant from the expansion cap/overflow pipe then it's not likely...

The coolers are still 'in circuit', if one was leaking, then you'd get coolant into the exhaust with the EGR valves blanked - are you getting any steam from the exhaust with a warm engine?

It could equally well be an EGR cooler leaking, or rear HVAC if fitted. The first step with that amount of loss (and as mentioned above, it is excessive) is to do, or have done, a coolant system pressure test.

5 litres in 600 miles is quite a problem, I would have thought a leak of that magnitude would be obvious. Otherwise it seems like an internal leak. Unfortunately the only thing I know about a D3 is I'm glad my son doesn't have one!

Ok. I’ll check on the steam. Thanks. I took it to a mates garage and he said it looks like the leak is coming from the oil cooler. Is that a nasty job do you think?

Thanks. If the egr’s are blanked off does the cooling still happen? Yep I’ll get the pressure test done. Cheers

Strangely in this instance it was my son who encouraged me to buy this one! :)

Ladies. Gentleman. Hope you’re all well? Just been away to St Ives for a nice weekend. Can I ask a few LR3 08 q’s please., Probably did about 600 miles. Before I left I did a few checks and noticed there was no coolant in the expansion...
