Didn’t need a cool looking Bottle, but oh well.

I think I have bottle envy and I don't even have a D2 anymore.

I’ll have to peak in here and there, but that is not a big deal. The metal cap makes me feel good, never really trusted the plastic ones.

LR is at the bottom of the pile!

I worked for Chrysler for awhile, Land Rover maybe at the bottom but the others are trying to catch up.

I work at an independent shop now that does a lot of Land Rover work... most of what I do is fix other shop's "work"

The L322 and the white D2 are owned by the same guy. Has a RRS outside too. None of them work right. The black D2 is mine, just finished dumping a few grand into her. My shop dog is also expensive. What can you do? Walk? HA!

They credited me towards the Aluminum Tank which is a huge upgrade, but man, I really need some time for this truck to be low maintenance. She’s fraying my nerves!

Where can you buy an aluminum tank with a coolant sensor alarm ?

Hope your comment is universally applicable for a D4. .

don’t know, but there is a thermostat/coolant sensor that is supposed to go in the radiator that throws a warning light in the Rave. Thanks for skipping that one LR.

RRC's had that sensor and it was made by BMW on the older ones and GM on the later RRC's. It was a PITA lol darn dash on a RRC could look like a Christmas Tree with low coolant, low washer fluid, brake pad warning, yada yada yada.... When I disabled the brake pad warning BS on my LR3 several LR techs I know thought I was crazy! One less thing to worry about IMHO & thank god my LR3 is just old enough not to have TPMS!!!
