Low coolant level message?

[Disco3]

Hi all - just wondering if anyone has ever had a low coolant level message, when the coolant level is perfect? Took it into the dealer this arvo - they had a quick look and told me nothing apparently amiss & subsequently booked it in to have a closer look.

Get another dealer.

It is well known issue float in the tank becomes porous and the float sinks. Needs new tank under warranty.
TSB exists
This could be the RRS one but exactly the same issue

TSB# LS303-006

SECTION: 303-03
"Low Coolant Level" Message or Warning Lamp Illuminated
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
Range Rover Sport (LS) VIN: 6A900129 to 6A929342

"LOW COOLANT LEVEL" MESSAGE OR WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED
Situation: A customer may report that the "Low Coolant" amber warning lamp is illuminated or a "Low Coolant Level" message is displayed in the Message Center when the engine coolant expansion tank volume is within recommended levels.
The coolant level float in the expansion tank can absorb coolant causing the float to sink. The warning lamp and message will display when the float sinks below the low level sensor trigger point.

Beaut thanks for that Carver! :thumbsup: Regrettably my dealer has an oligopoly - I'd love to get another dealer but the closets is about 300k's away. cheers

It's a very common complaint. If the sensor float has sunk (more than likely), it needs a new expansion tank.
If it's a sensor failure, then the sensor itself can be replaced now.

Yes, agree this is a common problem. Had mine replaced about 6 Months ago. Just mentioned it to the dealer, they didn't even need to look at it, just booked it in immediatly to have the expansion tank replaced. No problems since.
