I will collect my new '79 Series V8 Diesel Landruiser single cab in about a week from now. I am tossing up as to what to do about engine and possibly gearbox temp warning? Don't want to drill into radiator for low coolant alarm, so looking at alternatives.

While Watchdog consists of thermal sensors bolted direcly to points on engine, gearbox etc. it appears that Scanguage connects to a single test point of the computer system, and I was wondering how reliable it is in sensing engine temp etc. How would it act if coolant was lost, and would it "alarm" in time?

Welcome comments from those who have used Scan Guage or Watchdog, as to their suitability and or reliability. Thanks in advance.
