I was told about this Low Larm at work by a Rebuild Midget fan as a warning for low Cooling water level but have not been able to find a reference to it anywhere on the Web
I was just wondering if anyone here had heard of it
If not I shall get more info off him when I get back to work and Share with ya all
If ya know it to be no good Please let me know

Brown and Gammons sell the MGR one, there is also another DIY one.
I made my own. See here

I have seen threads on the Lo-Larm on, ahem...dot-org
That said, I have the B&G unit and it works flawlessly, and is very easy to install.

The LOLARM is made by Andy Capy who writes in Enjoying MG the MGOC monthly magazine, cost is £65.50 and takes about two hours to fit (despite what he says, i know trained mechanics that have taken that long) the website is www.lolarm.co.uk ~ have heard of many problems of false readings or none at all (instant HGF!!!!!!) and he claims that the latest version has cured this :shrug: but i dont have any feedback. :rant: The Brown & Gammons one which is about £92.00 is the MGR one that was fitted as standard to all TFs from model year 2006 (mid 2005) I agree with Rich, it is a good system, easy for a DiY fit and is the one that Russell Walsh (MG Rover Solutions) only fits. he is on this forum wher you can see his prices (i think it is £150 fitted, depending where you are located) You now have three options :

1. David's home brew job (which is good)

2. The Lo-Larm ~ DiY only.

3. The B&G one, either simple Diy or fitted for you. good reccomended system.

Ive heard many bad stories about the lo-larm, enough to put me off anyway. I have the B+G and to be honest for 30 quid extra, its surely worth saving your gasket.

just my own opinion though

Don't forget that those stories were "ALLEGEDLY".

I have first hand reports (not good) and totally agree that the B&G systen is worth every penny of the extra £30, even to a scottish person!!
