    I just replace the plastic unit each time the timing belt is changed and keep the old one in my spares. The metal one looks the goods but at about $600 regular replacement of the plastic one is my preferred option.

    MR auto replace the plastic piece every coolant flush,which is every 5 yrs,from memory.
    They also advise to replace float assembly in coolant bottle at same time as well.

    This - I wonder if this my issue. Got the car back, coolant level all good. Running as normal. Cleared all fault codes with IID but still says ‘coolant level low’. I know it’s not so what gives?

    Sensor or float issue. Simplest fix is a new coolant bottle.

    Coolant Loss - Engine Overheating

    When i recently changed coolant I struck this problem and thought it was new bottle time. I gave the bottle a few sharp taps with a big screwdriver handle and all came well again like the float can stick at the bottom of the travel.

    Haha - must be the simplest LR fix ever.

    BTW, to replace the crossover pipe cost $150 for the part from MR Auto inc. delivery and $320 for labour and coolant. Happy with that but if you can DIY them that makes the billet version cost effective I reckon.
