Hello Christoffel and

There may be differences between your V6 and that fitted to the 75/ZT but club member Arctic has a Freelander so hold on tight and he will, I'm sure, soon have the answer for you.

Hi Christoffel.
You will need to start the engine and top up has the coolant starts to go round the engine, make sure you have the heater on high a fully open, pour in slowly while the car is ticking over, and keep your eye on the level once you reach minimum let the car run a little more, add the cap run up to temp then turn car off for half hour, top up to Maximum line.
