MGF and MG TF easy fit low coolant alarm
This is an easy fit low coolant alarm that fits in place of a switch blanking plate. The installation doesn't require any modifications to the cars wiring and is easily transferable from vehicle to vehicle.

Hi Anne, your tank won’t have a sensor and it’s probably unlikely you’ll be able to fit a sensor, unless the tank has been replaced at some time. It’s fairly easy to check if you know what to look for. While the engine is cold remove the coolant filler cap and look inside to the left hand side of the tank, if you can see a white cylindrical float approx 15mm in diameter then the tank will accept the sensor, if not I’m afraid it’s a new tank. I’ll be putting another batch on ebay in the next couple of weeks and I’ll put the item number on here. Bob

Fitted mine a couple of weeks ago at the same time as having stainless steel coolant pipes fitted gave it a good bleed but always hard to get that last 1/2 litre . Anyway went for a ride on the Sunday & As sure as day the alarm went of the water level dropped about an inch topped up with distilled water no problem since very impressed I think it’s better than the factory fitted one & definitely than them over priced contractions on the market.

Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you're pleased with it. I make and sell these to help fellow F and TF owners. Having had a head gasket fail due to a split hose is why I designed it, I was lucky (how is a failed head gasket lucky!!) as I got away with just replacing the gasket and split hose. As these cars get older the more likely hoses are to fail.

@@bobdavis8561 Just had a head gasket repair and fitted SS underfloor pipes, water pump, tensioner etc hence the reason I would love one of these - certainly don't want to have to go through all that again due to coolant loss so its a definite need for me!

Sounds just what I need. I have a late 2002 tf with a tank presumably without a sensor; can I add a sensor to the existing tank? and will you be releasing another batch of the alarm kit on eBay?

Hi Bob. Just finished watching your video and I would be interested in purchasing one of your kits. Is there anyway to fit this to a Mk1 MGF VVC. I notice Rimmers sell a similar system that you can remove the LED out of to place into a switch blank on earlier cars. Thanks.

Hello Bob, this looks like a fantastic bit of kit. I have the same issue as Gordon, I have a Mk1, I was wondering if you could supply the electronics without the switch blank so that I could box them up somewhere and route the LED to an unused warning light in the instrument panel?

@@simonhedges1302 Hi Simon. Rimmers do a kit that is something like this and it has the led and bizzer separate from the switch fitting so it will work with the Mk1 dashboard. I would much rather buy this one from Bob as the Rimmers kit can take up to 30 seconds to alert you to a problem.

This is perfect, I have the header tank with sensor but no internal alarm or indicator to connect to it. Do you manufacture these yourself? If so how much does it cost to purchase, or if you have a store I would love a link to it. Thanks!

Apologies for not replying sooner but I’ve been on holiday. I made these originally as I wasn’t happy with the commercially available systems, I wasn’t sure if there would be much interest so didn’t actively market them. I’m now looking at ways to make these available to people who wish to purchase them. Watch this space
