Take a torch, toilet roll, and tea bags.

Haydn's low coolant alarm is essential, but if you want to monitor temperature then you can go for cheap one from eBay or decent TM2 or TM4 unit. Haydn also supplies combines LCA / TM2 unit which solves both problems.

I was told on here after buying me second one for the V6 that it's not so necessary on petrol models.. I fitted it anyway but must admit I have never has an alert from it and only topped it up when they serviced it in march. and before anyone asks, Yes it is working?

Hi
You're right to fit one...a lot of new cars have them, and any OLD car with OLD components should have one!
Cheers
