Re: Water loss
Don't know of bongo friendly garages in Northern Ireland. My husband works on all our vehicles so will have a look at bleeding the system( as shown on the video) and see if that solves the problem

It is a 2.5 td that has had no work done on the pipes. We have to top it up every time we take it out because of this. Engine runs fine with no smoke or overheating, although the fans are wired to a switch to run continuously to help keep it cool

Water loss
After driving for a while the expansion tank can be heard spitting out water, yesterday four times during a 80 mile trip. Is this a faulty cap, airlock or something worse.
