    An easy Coolant Alarm that saved me...

    No, it tells you when you are low on coolant and then you can check yourself, I'm not the seller of the item but am sure if you asked him directly he would give you all the answers you need. I just found it a very helpful first indicator that the coolant was lower then it should be. I wouldn't...

    An easy Coolant Alarm that saved me...

    It has a warning light and buzzer but it doesn't turn the fans on. It literally tells you when your coolant level drops below normal (i.e. you have a leak) allowing you to pull over and check the vehicle. I would rather pull over and check then have a fan turn on personally.

    An easy Coolant Alarm that saved me...

    Hi Guys Last year I installed an alarm kit and Range Rover sensor in my land rover and it saved me when my water pump went bad on the way back from Cornwall. I pretty much combined PRC7925P with a kit online and other than changing the ring crimps for spade receivers its plug and play. I...

    Very Leaky 300tdi Defender

    Good Morning, I hope you all had a good weekend and enjoyed the Show at Stoneleigh if you went. So, my defender has an oil leak which I know isn’t unusual but his is increasing and has started leaving little pools below my car as opposed to drops. Some online forums have suggested it could...

    New Water Pump and P Gasket Tips

    Hey guys, thanks for the advice. Got it done today with using a little fire and angle grinder (last damn bolt)! I did the 8mm threaded bAr trick and it worked a treat. Soaked all the bolts for a few days before hand and most came off well. Cheers again

    Buzzing in the dash...

    Hi, yeah I've got a multimeter and the battery does rise as the engine does. I wonder if the regulator is on its way out! Haven't been able to watch as I drive obviously. Took the dash off and had to did some PO wiring "upgrades". Took a good few hrs chopping all the old stuff out.
