Low Coolant Alarm

This reminds me i need to order one of these from you too Bruce, expect a PM imminently 

Hey Kid..how's the car coming along?

You happy so far?

Getting there, Once the snow cleared i did the first proper deep clean so looking much smarter now with a good coat of wax leaving it all nice and beady, new head unit & rear camera are in, new yellow leather gaitors are in, clearcoat is currently drying on some yellow interior trim in the living room, new tail lights are on with full LEDs, white interior LEDs done and i'm currently figuring out a direction for the wheels, might be going down the ultralight route instead of powder coating the existing ones... amusingly/horrifyingly depending on perspective the front tyres are date coded 2010, so needless to say they're going in the bin.
Admittedly this might all seem a bit "low budget Max Power magazine" but it's worth remembering i was somewhere around 18-21 when i first wanted a TF so it's definitely bringing that side of me out.

I would be the last person to advise against a low coolant sensor from our renown bassist, but do ensure your car requires one. If you feel under the header tank & you find a cable & connector, you already have a factory fitted unit.
If you disconnect the plug (depress the clip & hope for the best), the next bit is a “I can’t remember which way to test situation” but it’s either going to indicate when open circuit, or by shorting the connections the warning will show.
This will prove the system, you might need someone to check the dashboard lights whilst you fiddle.
Can anyone help with the open/short circuit conundrum, or maybe “Out Kid” could fill us in, once verified.

Somebody mentioned that if you have the hazard warning light on the instrument cluster (rather than just the indicator symbols) then you don't have the coolant alarm (as that's where they put the coolant warning light) so suspect that's the case, i'll have a grope around under the tank though when i get a moment to double check.

On OEM low coolant alarm you need to make short circuit from black to green/black wire in order to trigger the dash light.

You have been busy..but the best part of your post is..."they are drying in the living room"..! 
Go Kid..you fit right in!

I've promised that they'll be out of the living room tomorrow..... however i've just found a trophy spoiler at a scrappy... so that's gonna need painting somewhere  be reet

Having now fitted Bruce's LCA kit I can confirm it's a really great package, seems like there's very little to go wrong and it's incredibly easy to fit thanks to well written instructions with useful photos to boot.
I know absolutely nothing about working on cars and am just figuring things out as I need to with the help of the fine people on this forum but thanks to those instructions It only took me around 90 minutes and that includes the fact that I discovered having XPower hoops installed makes getting the engine cover off a much bigger pain in the backside, this meant I was able to use the extra time I'd allocated to the task to instead fit my newly painted spoiler and even had time to swap out the chrome lighter socket for a usb charger (rather than a plug in adapter) also removing the chrome ashtray for a black one. All in all a very productive day. 
If you don't have a coolant alarm Bruce's kit is definitely the way to go, get it done and enjoy peace of mind.

Hey Kid!
We need some pics of all these mods..otherwise it's just hearsay...😁😁

Getting the engine cover off any F or TF with a rear speaker bar in place can be quite a struggle to reach 3 of the bolts but it must be very much more tricky to have to work around roll hoops. Did you have to remove them ?

There are a number of designs for roll bars & its a reasonable rule of thumb to say ''The easier they are to fit, in the first place & the easier the engine cover is to remove with them in place, afterwards'', the less effective they would be if pressed into action. To be honest the best that can be said is they look pretty, your greatest friend in worst case is the windscreen surround.
Can I recommend you do not check my statement.
