I am gradually losing coolant 'somewhere' but not sure where, I have had a look and I can't see any signs of a leak or any residue… the water isn't discoloured at all.
just wondering the best thing to do… is there a home pressure test I could rig up or is there another way?
Cheers
Guy

Have you had a look for any white gunk on the underside of the oil filler cap?

Maybe have a look at the two hoses going through the bulkhead into the heater matrix, there are joints in these hoses that went in mine recently.
