Quote Modify Remove I need some help,i have a range rover 2.5 dse 1998 it has developed a leak on the front end.I had a new rad fitted in the UK in Sept came home to Portugal and all was fine then about 3 weeks ago it dropped all the fluid out on the floor in the local town,i refilled with plain water as no coolant was available at the time when i got home i checked again and it had kept all the water in so i did`nt worry to much,checked levels a couple of days later and it had lost about half a litre.so topped up again then it got very hot following a lorry up a steep hill it did`nt boil but got close to the red.Local garage said it may be because it had only water and not coolant as outside temps were quite high so i drained about half the water out of the system and refilled with pure coolant.Now the leak has become worse and i cant see where it is coming from it is defiantly from somewhere from the bottom of the rad somewhere???.Any ideas.
