Hi all,

Checked out the procedure in the L405 workshop manual to drain and refill the coolant. It seems a vacuum tool is required, is this something we can no longer DIY and will need to go to the shop for?

And I thought my p38 was difficult

It depends upon your car maintenance skills. If you are reasonably competent, there are coolant pressure test / vacuum test / filling kits around, some are not too expensive. But you may also need a compressed air supply for the vacuum use. Have only seen kits with hand pump for pressure testing, not for the vacuum, that is usually with an air supply.If you or a mate have the air supply, bingo.

There are several 'how to use it' videos on you tube etc. Relatively easy to use, especially as you already have the procedure.

Edit - If the extra tool costs are unwanted, at least you have some Independent LR specialists to call upon in Perth. Just as well you don't live in Dampier / Karatha etc

Thanks Merchy

I have ordered the tool.
