No idea on cost, looks to be more aimed at big plant machinery rather than a car application.

Hi
Nice, but Haydn's alarm does low water , and the TM2 does excess water temperature and oil, plus the TM2 has a digital temperature readout. A transmission temperature sensor would be useful if towing, as I believe the Trans gets a bit warm if pushed hard for long periods....mine has experienced this, but in normal use....no problem.
Cheers

would not fancy drilling a 3/8ths hole into the expansion tank.
Lost without my Bongo.

Tried one of them tank sensors when developing the HAYDN alarm. When up to temp pressure within the tank, seal failed coolant everywhere. Might be o.k. in a non pressurised system but not for Bongo I'm afraid.
