haha, i appreciate the help guys.
1. what's a merkin?
2. purchased the car on 7/13/07, car was sent to the land rover service center and fixed 7/23/07. coolant is low (was almost empty before i refilled it two days ago), but no sign of leak... is this soon enough to take back to dealership where car was purchased, or take back to service center?
What's a "merkin" ? YOU're a Merkin, but don't let on .... in case anyone notices and gives you a hard time
Take no crap from stealers (main dealers).
If they take money for fixing something, that's a contract. If it isn't fixed they broke the contract.
BE SMART!
If you think the water is leaking from (say) the water pump, do NOT say "I want you to replace the water pump", because if they do that they have fulfilled their part of the deal, even if that wasn't where the water was leaking from.
Smarter to say I think it's leaking water ... please have a look at it, gimme a call with a quote for the fix .... and then if they do work that does NOT fix it, THEY have a problem, not you. They quoted to FIX it, and fix it they must.
But they will be stealing from you anyway. All dealers are stealers.
Anyway, assuming you topped it up and it isn't needing an air-bleed, don't go near a dealer unless you need to top it up frequently. Remember not to OVERfill the header tank because any excess WILL be ejected. Fill to the correct level only, and it may need a little top-up every day for a few days while it settle down and purges the air out. Add a few drops of dishwashing liquid detergent to the first water you add.
Also remember to top up with a water-antifreeze-anti-corrosion mix.
