I filled the coolant bottle in my Freelander V6 petrol up to the max mark. I drove for 3 miles to get the engine warm and when I stopped the engine and opened the bonnet, the botttle ( small round football) was empty. As I released the pressure (slowly and cautious) it started to fill back up from the small inlet hose. Is this correct ? or should the bottle look full at all times ? Jasper

Sounds like an airlock in the system, sorry havent done the bleed procedure for the V6 but it will be in the Haynes or someone else can post
