Thanks

OK, you're on the list.

I have five takers now. Unless anyone changes their mind, the offer is closed for now. I am awaiting delivery of final parts. Once I have them, I will be in touch with the 5 of you.

B

Blew it up graham?

EYE WELL AND TRULY. MADE A RIGHT HASH JOB OF THAT ONE.

A while ago, Jaypay (I think that's the username) mentioned an elegant DIY solution using a contactless, non-immersion water level sensor. I messed around with this, built a prototype, which is on my MG TF and working well, and a second prototype, which is wrapped up as a Christmas present for my brother. The great thing about this alarm is that it requires no drilling and no cutting of wires. Apart from picking up 12v from the reversing light switch and making a ground connection, there is only the buzzer, which is mounted inside the car and the sensor which is Araldited to the expansion vessel. Fitting takes an hour or so.

In the new year, it is my intention to start selling these in kit form, probably on eBay. The price isn't set yet but I am thinking in terms of something around £25. So, much cheaper than the alternatives!

Before advertising them so widely, I was intending to offer a limited number here on The-T-Bar for just the cost of the parts in order to obtain some useful user feedback.

So, if anyone wants to be on the list for a late prototype, let me know. Price for these will be £10 including UK postage. Just 5 available, initially. Posting hopefully in January.

Bruce.

Further to this post a few weeks ago. the batch of 5 pre-production prototypes is ready to be sent out. I have sent PMs to the following who were the first 5 to express an interest. Watch this space for future developments.

I have sent out two of these low coolant alarms but am still awaiting replies from the other interested people. I have sent private messages to The driving dutchman, kandg and BobEssex - please check your mailboxes.

Cheers!

OK. You are first reserve on the subs bench!

I'm giving the others, who asked to be included and have so far failed to follow up, a generous 2 weeks (12th February) to place their order. After this, Im afraid that I cannot wait any longer.

Hi Bruce - Put me on the bench if you have one left? Regards
