then you refill with an appropriate coolant like Havoline and you follow the instructions with respect to life span etc and the Landrover service cycle does not apply.Quote:

The Havoline seems like a good product and I actually suspect it is the OEM product.
However you doing the belt does highlight, why did LR give the coolant a 10 year life when the belts have to be changed at 160,000km or 7 years anyway - maybe LR are suggesting you catch the coolant as it drains out the engine and you reuse it. :-(
