Hi folks I do 500 miles a fortnight in my 13 plate fiesta diesel 155cc, over the last few months I’ve noticed every fortnight my water level goes from maximum to minimum so I’ve been topping it up to the maximum mark, I have looked and can’t find any signs of leaks, it would be great if anyone has any ideas before I take it to a garage thank you.
