    It is a 2002 Grand Cherokee CRD losing water without any signs under the hood, simptoms experienced are
    -struggle to start every mornings and sometimes during the day
    - fill up radiator reservour every day

    Sounds like you have a bust head gasket, loosing water into the cylinder. Someone will need to do a pressure test.

    You might see water coming out the exhaust.
    Talk softly, carry a big stick.

    jip. sounds like a headgasket. Do a compression check. You might also be able to visually spot white smoke from the exhaust.

    White smoke = coolant
    Black smoke = diesel

    Check the oil in the sump to see if you have water in there. And yes head gasket is gone.
