To answer the question...... ......as a top up I use 50/50 of anti-freeze and water.
Also keep an eye on it as there is a reason for the coolant lose. Maybe as simple as a perished hose.

there is roughly 3 ioptions, red blue or now green. Id match it with wots in there already or see what is says in the handbook.If you go to halfords or similar they should tell you which is suitable for your motor
Hi
thanks for the replies.
I have red/orange coolent in there at the moment. So as long as I top up with the same colour I should be ok? I don't have to use the same stuff that's already in there? Or is that determined by the colour?
That would save time. As I thought I may have to drain and flush the system to put coolent in that I know the manufacture of.
Cheers

You cannot always rely on colour but due to the age of your Freelander its most likely to be OAT coolant, sometimes sold pre-mixed so you just top up straight from the bottle, if not a 50/50 mix as said above.
