Thanks MarkMc
. It’s now in the dealers. LR Assist came out to it again over the weekend and found the leak towards the rear on the pipe.
Unfortunately LR extended warranty has rejected the repair due to it being corrosion so it looks like it’s coming from our own pockets!

Try and get an independent to carry out the work. Even then it will be costly I’m afraid 😟

We are just going dealer route but looks like waiting for parts is going to be a problem and car not back until after Christmas.

Got our car back beginning of January. Just in time for the arrival of snow!
JLR contributed 50%of the bill which was appreciated 👍🏼

Really interesting reading this thread. I have to admit to never, ever, checking coolant levels. Not in any way DIY focused with cars, and before my two holidays a year I take the car to Harwoods for a levels check, if it isn't requiring a service. A couple of days prior to Christmas, the low coolant level light came on (MY23.5 with 30k miles). I checked the tank and it was completely empty. Not a drop remaining. Popped to the dealer for two bottles of their expensive OEM coolant, so I had some spare. I've re-filled it, and so far can't detect any loss in about 3 weeks / 500 miles.
The car was last serviced in June 2023.
Can coolant simply evaporate (I did a lot of long journeys in Sept/Oct, and 2 weeks driving around southern Italy in extreme heat in July?)
I've got no smell from the car, no sign of a leak.
Intrigued......

It can be a sign the engine is on the way out.
I’ve had two engine go, the first one lost coolant first, then the oil level went down.

Fingers crossed it’s not that, but you never know.

Just had the same problem on my 17 2.0, coolant loss at incredible rate with no obvious sign of external loss! Turned out to be a failed charge cooler. Had charge cooler replaced and all good so far!
Might be worth some of you guys checking that out
