Low coolent level alarm

the cheapest and easiest way of keeping track of cooling level is to use your eyes even the best kit can still fail where your eyes wont unless your blind then you shouldnt be driving.

can't remember the brand of mine but it was not unreasonably priced and i got it from my auto electrician.

Hi Kev,

Mannings Service centre in NSW, phone 02 6563 1100 I think, market a unit called Smart Alert for exactly this application. Cost $57.00 inc delivery. I do not know whether they are good or bad but you can decide if this is what you want,

Happy 4 wheeling

Thanks John and One i will check them out .

Ta.

They sound like a good idea and will check them out myself. Much better than trying to watch the gauge constantly, there's better and safer things to do than that on the road.
I worked in a mine some years ago and a dump truck destroyed an engine through a complete loss of coolant when the operator failed to see the gauge rise, and then fall back when it had nothing to check the temperature of.
Apparently even the constant glancing at the instruments would have missed it, as it can happen very quickly if a hose splits.
I believe the company went to an audible alarm as a back up on all it's machinery after that.

Smart alert.

For an outlay of only AUD$49.00 (+$7.50 P&H)


Seeing if I can buy 10 and get better price.
