Hi.

I'm intrigued.

Hopefully it doesn't involve making too many holes in the expansion tank as that is the bit that I don't like the idea of.

Buy a BMW 3 series expansion tank, it`s identical apart apart from one small outlet. They have the sender unit as standard. There is a full write up if you search

Thanks wayneg!

I'll have a search when I get to a computer so I can have a good look at what's needed. Hopefully it includes an idiot proof wiring diagram.

I have had a look today on fleabay and there are a lot of tanks there but they don't seem to have the outlet on the underside that mine has. Has anyone installed one of these and have they found this to be true?
