2012 LR4 V6 Diesel Low level coolant alarm would initiate especially after hard acceleration. Now the alarm will come up after normal running and no hard acceleration. The level in the expansion tank is normal on all occasions. The coolant shows no signs of contamination. There is no evidence of air bubbles within the coolant. Alarm goes away and then later may, or may not come back on.

Help please

Look at the float in the expansion tank. If it’s stuck or broken then it’s the tank. I just changed my expansion tank as the float was in pieces. The new tank didn’t come with a sensor but I installed and used the old sensor. Works perfect.

?? The sensors I have replaced come with a new float. I guess when I am saying sensor it is likely a dodgy float.

I had the same problem and did the same things - reluctantly changed the tank and all fixed.

The float is inside the tank if I understand correctly.

If so, I am to conclude you were able to also get at and remove the old float? If so, were you able to do all that with the tank still connected?

I ask as I am planning to replace the tank on my LR3 due to the heavy float reality. I just assumed a bad float meant install a new tank.
