Where is the coolant filling port located in a Land Rover?

Land Rover coolant is located under the hood, in the upper right corner of the engine, behind the headlights. Method for replacing coolant: Before completely replacing the coolant, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipes, with a focus on the five-way hose. The five-way hose is named for its five connections to various parts, and the coolant flows through it before being distributed to different sections of the car to function. If there is any leakage of coolant in this area, the hose should be replaced or the connections re-secured as needed. Drain the old coolant, then flush the liquid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the coolant reservoir, then continue adding water to the reservoir so that it continuously flows through the engine cooling system. Start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the water flowing out of the reservoir will have a faint pink color. Continue adding clean water until the outflow is clear. Note: Remember to remove the heater hose to drain all water from the heater core. After draining for about an hour, add the new coolant through the radiator hose, which allows the coolant to flow quickly into the radiator. Then, add another container of coolant to the reservoir until it is nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. As some air is expelled from the cooling system, the fluid level will drop. Add more coolant until it reaches the "MAXT" mark on the reservoir.
