Freelander 1.8 petrol xei 55 plate Mysterious coolant leak
Purchased 18 months ago found coolant leak after 3 months….tank empty …coolant tank warning light on dash. Now topping up every two weeks with a cupful of 50% mix of antifreeze (red) and water. No physical signs of any coolant loss.
Had two services at 4x4 independent garages and two pressure tests which showed no loss when coolant was hot or cold. Both told me to check the coolant but offered no solution.
Still concerned about the leak and that engine failure could be around the corner.
Am I right in believing that the head gasket and pin problem suffered by earlier Freelanders was rectified by the time the 55 plate came out? Is it unlikely to become a head Gasket failure?
Is there anything I can be doing to overcome the leak and give me peace of mind?
Advice please
