Just checked the coolant in my Tuscan, seemed to be maybe 1 centimeter in depth of it visible in the filler neck. Ok so far.

But it looks to be almost colourless. A bit greyish maybe.
Last time I checked it it was more blue I'm sure. (Coolant colour).
Have never added to it since having the car from new last October and 2700 miles.

Does this sound ok?

I'd try checking it by topping up. I had the same thing everytime I checked and thought my coolant was fine, but it wasn't.

The collection of clear water was coolant that had condensed at the top of the filler neck and run back down. I too thought it used to be "blue", so tried topping up and was able to get over half a litre in the tank before the level in the tank obviously met that of the filler neck and lots of blue water came flooding in.
