My LCR seems to be losing coolant quicker than it should, I've just had a cobra turboback fitted decatted, could just be coincidence but theres no fault codes no leak puddles on the floor etc, there does seem to be more smoke coming out the exhaust though. Any ideas?

The head gasket was replaced 3-4 month ago, doesnt mean its not that i suppose. Its not smoke though just steam smells abit rich. If it was the head gasket wouldnt there be a oil leak also?.edit sorry i did say smoke in my first post.

headgasket failure on these engines is very rare. could be anything. my mate who owns a LCR was losing coolant for ages and eventually traced it back to a pin ***** hole in the radiator.

Mine occasionally looses a load of coolant, enough to get the three beeps on the dash with the coolant light if I don't keep an eye on it... My last one did the same, I just fill it up with water and don't worry about it until winter comes :D
