I have to check water expansion tank daily, the water pump was fitted last august. new thermostat unit in june this year, thought it would be fine after that but my car still loosing water somewhere?
Water has to be going somewhere. have you checked underneath the car and looked for leaks,has to be one somewhere and if you can see or find one it could very well be leaking in the heater core that is located in side the car. one way of telling if it is the heater core is to fill carpet on floor up under the dash to see if it is wet. could also be in the head itself. many things it could be but shouldnt be that hard to track down...hope this helps some and good luck.

If you are not seeing fluid spots on the ground chances are you have an head gasket problem
SOURCE: OVER HEATING
In the fan circuit...You have a temp switch screwed on the radiator, a fuze and a relay in the fuze box plus a fan. Swap the relay with another relay, replace the fuze. The other fan should come on when the a/c is turned on. If you fix the fans and it still overheats, you may have a BLOWN HEAD GASKET. ALSO ARE YOU BLEEDING THE AIR FROM THE SYSTEM? DO YOU SMELL EXHAUST IN THE COOLANT?
SOURCE: car is still overheating after new thermostat, new housing.....
bleed air out cooling system. put half antifreeze and half water .if you got too much water .it willl cause engine to over heat. antifreeze raise boiling point .220 degrees it wont boil away . water will evaporate 212 degrees.it will boil away .causing low coolant problems and over heating.

rad caps are common for trouble, bottom of rads leak and a pipe that clicks into the rad leaks.
there is a core plug at back of engine that leaks, gearbox and fly wheel has to come out.
why dont you add a dye so you can see where it has come out. have pressure tested it to 25 psi and left to see where leaking,
