Welcome to the paranoid coolant bottle watchers group.

Don't know the answers to your questions but how did you fix the VCU, did you use Bells?

My front prop was completely bollocks so i got new front prop and fitted new bearings. The vcu is all good

if it is a early freelander 1 then the srs light stays on until you are doing aprox 5mph hope this helps

Cool
My prop was great as someone had already replaced the rear half, pity they didn't think to sort the cause of the problem.

Theres no drain plug, so you need to disconnect the bottom hose from the rad to drain it

Expansion tank cap off, heater on full, under tray off to get a container under the rad

To flush the rad just take the top hose off and run water in from a hose pipe until it runs clear from the bottom.

Refilling is an art ...two bleed screws to undo, watch the bubbles clear while you slowly re fill the system from the expansion tank - before you do though - take off the thin pipe from the expansion tank and give it a good blow down ..to free the jiggle valve ball bearing - in case its stuck.

couple of faults then mot time.
