The $10 alternative. It might be worth considering.
Coolant level switch
That would indeed be an option, and I shall get hold of one to put in the Black plastic header tank on the 85 Classic
the next time I am in Oz..........The black one I have on the 300Tdi are a MUCH tougher plastic than the white ones.
The major problem from my standpoint is that I have had 4 tank failures on 3 vehicles in the last 15 years.......
I count myself lucky that each time I caught it before anything overheated.
I cannot see spending about the same amount to get an Range Rover branded plastic tank, although
it would probably be fine, I know this one will not leak, or suddenly burst on me. (Do it once, and do it right!)
Honestly, I am a bit surprised that there was never an option for the switch from the factory. I believe I read somewhere that there is provision of some sort in the Becm for low coolant, but they must have run out of I/O spaces on the CPU and dropped the switch option.
Even tho' I will be a bit poorer in the $$$ department, I shall be a happy camper when I get this installed!
Mad-as: For $300 bucks, I get the tank, and a low level float switch, and about $75 dollars shipping charge.
I will post the results.......
