Hi Bob

Did you never get the B&G system working? That's a shame. Have you tried speaking to Kevin at the MG Rover Repair Centre in Wickford?

Anyway, you are on the list.

I will contact people via private message when they are ready. Payment will probably be via PayPal, despite their pesky fees!

Sundance, this is a very similar solution to mine. The sensor I use is much cheaper though. Long-term reliability is not tested yet as, like you, I only fitted it this summer. It works nicely so far - when the coolant level drops a bit it starts chirping on hard gravitational effects (cornering/braking etc). On a disastrous leak, all hell will break loose! :-)

Hi Bruce,
Yes, I tried Kevin (who did a great job on my other problems) but his conclusion was that my TF did not have the wiring to be able to fit the sensor etc that I had.
So, thanks for putting me on the list, look forward to heating from you when you are ready.

I used a header tank from a Rover 25 Streetwise.
It needed a bit of modification but seems to work ok.

There are details on here somewhere.

Thanks for the mention Bruce I can confirm my installation works fine no false alarms and I get a little beep when I turn the ignition on to confirm it is working it is a very simple and I am glad my design will be of use to others . original post
