Title: Low coolant
Post by: Ralph on 27 September 2015, 18:16:18: The Low coolant warning has come up on the display, water level still at maximum.
I guess the sensor in the header tank has failed, anyone any idea how much one of those is?

Post by: RobG on 27 September 2015, 18:27:27: Around £35-40 for a new tank

Isn't the sensor available alone?

Post by: 05omegav6 on 27 September 2015, 19:23:44: Need one for mine as it's recently failed a second time... might get a shiny one for the black one and swap that one into the white one...

Or I could drive a tank over both of them... that would sort both of them :-X

Post by: tunnie on 28 September 2015, 18:30:31: It was £35+vat some years ago, so £49 would not surprise me.

Fair price, and more than 10 available. :y
I don't do eBay so that counts me out on that one.
