Thanks. Deffo a leak, as it’s orange and the coolant level plummets.
Going to ask the garage to look as I can’t see anything and it’s still under warranty  |

Update… it’s losing it as fast as we put it in, but…
Engine doesn’t overheat
Heating still works
THERE’S NO PUDDLE!
We’ve just put 6 litres in… still asks for more. |

Hi peeps.
Car’s been fine for the 18 months I’ve had it, but suddenly appears to be losing coolant.
What’s the most common cause for this please? |

| It switched range ok. The smoke happened after I’d tried to pull the van out. Switched to high range, continued to pull him out (successfully!) and there was no smoke whilst in high range. |

Wouldn’t reduced demand drive prices up as economies of scale fall out of favour for diesel?
No it wouldn’t. First year economics, if the demand for a product goes up, so does the prices; if th ... |

So… the 525 is just petrol? I’m not familiar with the L405 models.
Such a short range in the hybrid doesn’t seem worth bothering with, even with the green brownie points taken into considera ... |

I’m contemplating what’s next after my L322 and I’m wanting a 2018+ L405. However, I’m torn.
