hi all first post
got a Jd 2650 (L reg and 6000hrs) had it about 6 weeks and last 2 weeks its been losing coolant from expansion overflow pipe but not all the time and when engine stopped can hear gurgle noise from tank. I got basic mechanic nowhow, so blew out rad, replaced radiator cap, temp gauge only just goes into green area, still doing it, got mechanic out last week, checked it over and said its not head gasket and no pressure in tank or oil but thermostat as been removed for some reason??? and told to carry on using it and just keep level topped up/ or let level go below min mark to see if it levels out and stops leaking.
spoke to previous user he said not aware of thermostat being removed or leaks but as had to top up coolant in past
be grateful for any help/advice to see if able to rectify problem and is it ok to use cause overall its not in bad condition for age
many thanks
