I forgot to mention I had to bleed the system via a bleeder valve, however even after bleeding the system it dropped over night. Now it reads low coolant because coolant tank sensor failed. The original leak was a failed bleeder valve made from plastic. Using the rover forum for diagnosis, these 2 plastic parts fail alot. I had a coolant leak on my 02S which was a failed plastic quick release fitting on top of the motor. Went to Brumos for the part which they could not identify, The mechanic came out a said not to replace it with plastic crap go to NAPA and get a copper coupler,which I did. I knew not what I was getting into with the rover or box but the forums keep me in the know. I know I havent been much help but I do feel your pain. As my r.v. guy says "it aint the fffin space shuttle. When bleeding the system it did have to get to temp with the heater on full blast to get the thermostat to open. I do not know if the heater has to be on for the Box but it sonds logical
