    As with any car, look at the MOT history. Same advisories showing year after year, generally show the owners haven't bothered to fix them until they become failures. Service history with receipts for any work done is good.

    Any leaks will cause issues because the system needs to be under pressure (about 10-15psi) to prevent the coolant boiling.

    Leak off test results after 1min. I'm assuming the containers are 100ml, so number 2 is 85ml after 1min. The other three about 30-40ml ??

    Apparently the tank pump was replaced, but they were vague about how long ago. It has all the engine covers in place so could not see the FIP properly. TBH I'm not that familiar with this diesel lump !!

    Do the nut (5) at the far end first. It's easier while the axle end is still attached. Then undo the two marked 7 & 8 in the diagram. If the bolts are fouling on the roll-bar mounts, just undo them & let the roll-bar hang down a bit. Also do...

    Did you remove & test the thermostat at any point ? Also it's possible to get the two smaller pipes on the wrong ports, which does affect the coolant flow.
