Yes a known issue. The float in the switch sinks. Your dealer should be up to speed on this. A new modified coolant header tank required.

Lots of early D3's had a duff sensor in the coolant tank, surprised it's not been done already, dealer will replace under warranty The End

mine did this and tank replaced.
However after it came out of the dealer I still had to top it up every couple of days until the level stayed where it should be. No leak.......but there was obviously an airlock somewhere in the system. end of an era ....... maybe a Defender when it appears.......

had the same problem, dealer fixed but left a vise grip on the coolant line.
Called much later that day and said "uhh i think we left a tool in your engine bay"

Anyone have a TSB for the coolant tank/sensor issue? Ours started playing up this last week  and I've not found one for the D3, only for the RRS in my searchs. LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

Still in warranty at present Simon  - got one service left before then and putting together a list of warranty claims and symptoms I want checked at or before that service LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

There is also a TSB for correct bleeding of the coolant system, airlocks can cause 'low coolant' messages even after the cut off VIN for the coolant sensor problem
