"Coolant low level" and more
1) My car shows "Coolant low level" light.
LR3 user posted his youtube which shows he recommends replacing the coolant reservoir because it has a buoy sensor.
Is there any other way to fix this light? Coolant is enough in my tank.
2) Spark plugs
Is it fine for me to use any iridium spark plugs?
Or do you recommend the OEM ones?
3) O2 Sensor
Is there any reliable substitute instead of the OEM (Walker one)?
Thank you in advance!!

1) A magnetic sensor which clips in to the bottom of the reservoir and has an electrical connector. This is cheap and easy to replace but is most likely *not* the problem.
2) A buoyancy float inside the reservoir. This is most likely the problem, and you do need to replace the tank. It's actually not very hard to do, basic tools.
Don't know. If your engine is the 3.2 i6 the entire power train is volvo, so you can often shop volvo parts for a better price.

If the low level alert is on and the level is near the max then the issue is the sensor. Check it on several occasions, cold and hot, just to be sure there's not level changes due to oil or exhaust gas in the coolant.
But the level float is guaranteed to fail after 10+ years, so that's Occam's razor.

What would you recommend to check the leaking in order in case of LR2 2009?
