Does anyone know the part no. for the expansion tank that takes a coolant sensor?

Cheers Perry.
I'll try my local MG Garage to see if I can get these parts.

They were on an indefinite back order a few months ago although this may have changed by now.

Dealer got the tank, sensor and cap - total cost £45.45

Anyone fitted the B & G Kit? Where is the best place to route the wiring into the cab? Drivers Side or Passenger Side?

 

[Chris T]

The wire from the bottle on the B&G kit goes through the grommet (next to the engine bay inspection cover) on the passenger side into the car and then under the T-bar where the ECU and buzzer is fitted. Another set of wires run down the centre consol for power and the warning light.

Cheers for the info Chris,
Hopefully fit it this weekend.

Has anyone got a wiring diagram for a Coolant Level Alarm?
Thought about using a LED and a buzzer.
Cheers,
Gaz.

Cheers for that both,
I will take a look now

Took a look at the above link. It seems a good wiring circuit but a little too complicated. I don't think that a timer relay is nessasary. Anyone know how to wire just a LED, Buzzer and the Coolant tank sensor?
Cheers.

Think you'll find the timer is necessary, otherwise the alarm will be going off on corners, during braking, whilst accelerating etc etc

Presumably there is a float in the tank (unlike the B&G version) and when the tank is full the float breaks the circuit? You will need a voltage supply to the tank with a feed coming back with a 560-ohm resistor in series with a LED.
