  1. Good morning to you all, i have a 98 5 door 1.8 petrol with 135,000 on clock (and still going strong) who likes to lose coolant. I have replaced the top hose (it was buggered anyway) and the expansion cap lid so far. I top up the coolant and after a few days it seems to have finished. The engine runs absolutely fine, the temperature gauge sits at normal with no signs of overheating, there is no white gunk in the oil and no oil in whats left in the expansion tank. I would appreciate any ideas, im going to have a look at the water pump and gasket and hoses over the weekend aswell. My oil pressure warning light seems to flicker away at idle, you touch the throttle and it disappears, it's not on or off it just seems to flicker. Im going to give her an oil change at the weekend and put a new oil pressure switch in there aswell. The bodywork on the car is in amazing condition, the underside is very good indeed, no rust or holes. The only bit of rust on the body is a small stone chip on the rear door thats gone sceptic. Any ideas or suggestions regarding oil pressure blinky light and leaky coolant would be very much appreciated from all of you landrover mechanical gurus with a wealth of knowledge. Cheers Alex
