Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi everyone, little worried at the moment as i am losing water somewhere. Have to fill the expansion tank every time i take the car out for a drive. As its not garaged and it rains all the time i thought the best way to investigate would be to take off the front pu and remove all underfloor tray. Condensors and radiators are all still original even though the air conditioning has never worked, so may be responsible !!! thoughts !!!! Anyway, if you all agree does anyone have any links for removal of; a) Undertray b) Front pu and if possible Removal/replacement of radiators/condensors just in case. Thanks.

POST 2Original post

I would be looking at the coolant tank itself first. It is extremely common for them to crack or pinhole - usually on the face you can't see, against the side wall. Check that it isn't wet on the platform just below the tank. Also check the coolant cap. If the part number ends in 00, they were notorious for blowing off at too lower pressure. This should be evident by water in the catch tray on top of the tank, which drains down a rubber tube onto the ground.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Richard, already renewed the tank last year together with a new cap. Think its somewhere else this time.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
