Default Adding coolant every 6 months - too often?

I'm getting LOW COOLANT message again, approx 6 months after I had to add couple of litres due to low level. Seems a bit too often to me consideringnoheavy driving.No leaks on the ground,

Anybody had the same problem?

With the 2005's there was a TSB for the replacement of the coolant sensor. There have also been some cracks occasionally found. Check with Dealer.

Never assume, when it comes to a Rover. Coolant levels, from a sealed system, are not supposed to drop and new engines are way to expensive,
