Coolant alarm orderered, an easy fit for a novice?

Post by BongoBongo123 » Tue Jul 08, 2014 5:39 pm

The £78.95 one from Haydn. Is this a complex procedure ? Does it come with instructions and is there a members area guide? Thanks 8)

It just needs an ignition live and earth from inside cab
Unit mounting in cab somewhere
1 or2 wires going into front engine Bay Area there is a big rubber grommet behind glove box pierce and thread thro
Easy to use a "piggy back fuse "to get live from fuse box next to knee

Great found the data sheet on that as well, good stuff man. =D> I think I might even be able to that, lol. Am I right in thinking you need to drill a hole in the expansion tank... hmm.. seems a tad dodgey.

Oh well will have a good look at it all.

It comes with full instructions and everything you need to fit it......any problems and we are on the end of the phone.....drilling the tank does sound a bit daunting but fear not, we have had thousands fitted and never a problem

Cool I am fairly methodical so should be ok. Just wonder where an obvious ground with easy to attach earthing point might be.
