Only half way there..... I have installed the probe because I had my radiator out getting fixed.
The quality of the parts is very, very good, so the probe installs nicely, the only thing that might be difficult is if u have old radiator hoses, because mine are still pretty new (replaced in the last 2 years) it went over the probe pretty easily. Nothing a bit of hot water wouldn't fix I guess.
I did however check to see if the alarm does work by connecting it all up and then putting the water back in the system and turning the car on and waiting for the thermostat to open. Worked a treat, after 5 mins the car was warmed up and there was liquid back in the top hose and the alarm went off.
Will post some pics of the first part of the install later (there still on the camera)
I hope to get the rest done this weekend :)
In real life, I'm not sure how much water needs to empty from the system before the alarm goes off though !!
