Big red coolant level warning light on the DIS!

The light went out immediately the lateral G reduced and I topped up PDQ. All was fine after that though it did need a couple more small top-ups.
It looks like the system is difficult to fill and needs a bit of encouragement..... .
Thanks HP

Yep its been a few weeks and check it every few days ..and must say that I have not taken it on many long drives with the heathing on...as I don't work that far from home...

I just hope that this is the end of coolant type problems with the car now
