Hi there,

New to this forum and really hoping someone may be able to help me.
Bought a 2017 Discovery 5, 2l diesel back in April, with 57k on the clock. Over the last couple months, I've been adding coolant pretty much daily, due to the 'Low Coolant level' warning on the dash.
Had it serviced at a Landrover specialist two weeks ago, and raised this at the time. They put it under a pressurised system over night, but no leaks, and no sign of where the coolant was going....
Earlier this week I took it to another mechanic on recommendation, and explained the issue again. Turned out that the intake charge cooler was leaking coolant into the intake manifold. Mechanic replaced this added more coolant. I drove home (approx 25 miles) motorway and a-roads, and the 'Coolant level low' light came on and went off approx 10 times. I checked the coolant resevoir and it wasn't low or empty, BUT under the hood, it smelt and felt hot, yet the temp gauge on the dash was 'normal ('9 0'clock').
So after spending approx £1,400 in the last 2 weeks, and it not being sorted, can any one help / give me some advice?
Not sure if it's the coolant sensor, or something more serious.

Thanks in advance
