my 2002 v6 has been losing coolant for about 4 years and 20,000 mi. it is not the head gasket (clear oil) but somehow, it goes. Just saw an advert for k-seal. Have anyone tried? Is it suitable for my type of leaks (no head gasket)
 
you can try rad weld which is ok for very small/slow leaks, i used some on an old car and it does what it says, but a leak where your topping up quite often im not so sure.
Or just look for where the leak is, could be a seal thats gone or a slightly split hose. or the expansion tank.
 
I can't believe folks are still using this poo in their engines, it'll kill any petrol Freelander it touches...................really it will
 
Does the header tank have any micro cracks in it? I just replaced mine tonight and it had nasty cracks everywhere which I'm pretty sure has contributed to my coolant drop problem. So that's my 2c :).

By the way getting the circlip off the bottom radiator hose was a total S.O.B. Going to replace it with a jubilee clip mehinks.
 
Yes the guy at Rimmer Bros strongly reccomended getting both new so I did. Feels far tighter all round now.
