Posted by Beatrice on 8/1/2007, 7:01 pm, in reply to "Freelander losing coolant - no power loss or water in oil."
2003 Freelander just out of warranty period: the coolant keeps disappearing and does not leak. I had the car dealer check twice and say that "the cylinders are 'dropping' and burn out the coolant in the space left on top. There is nothing to do, except change the engine, whose manufacturer (by the way) has gone out of business."
Conclusion: LandRover KNOWS about this issue and denies Factory Default. But obviously looking at all the postings, we are not an exception!!! Any lawyer bought a Freelander and willing to help???

: Please could you help me. My Freelander 1.8 ES
: petrol ( 2001 - owned since new - 58,000
: miles) has just started to lose water from
: the cooling system from no apparent source
: or route. The bottle needs topping up with
: approx 1/2 litre of water every week or so.
: The running temp remains normal, there is no
: loss of power, There is no excessive
: pressure in cooling system (indicating a
: failed head gasket),or evidence of water or
: foam in oil sump (or on dipstick) or any
: steam or leaks coming from radiator or
: pipes. This has only started happening in
: the last month and I am flummoxed as to the
: cause. I am reluctant to take it to a
: Landrover garage as, from experience, they
: will charge me the cost of the a small
: countries national debt to just look at it.
