Gromit Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I've a very leaky rad, that is being recored on Friday, but it reminded me of a job I've been wanting to do. I remember seeing ages ago, someone did up a coolant level warning diagram using the expansion cap from a Range Rover I think, as it fits the defender expansion tank??? . Anyone have a part number? This was then fed to a very small relay (and not a standard one for some reason) from some online supplier, with a part number. Anyone remember the full details? Thought I'd saved the pic, but obviously not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmgemini Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I have one.... Unfortunately it's in my Defender somewhere I hope in the North Atlantiv. Nip over to www.difflock.com Do a search on the Land Rover board. Tim is the man you really want but he has a funny user signature. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gromit Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 Mike, do you have contact details for Timothy Birt , who is making the interface? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmgemini Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I believe that Difflock have bought some interfaces off Tim. So Try Difflock. If not let me know and I'll see what I can do. I have prototype two fitted to mine... mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmgemini Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 There are two caps with a level switch in. One for the plastic header tank as you have shewn Ralph. Then there is another one for the metal Range Rover tank. That could be PRC 5077. Please check. What is not available from Lad Rover is the interface. Unless somebody knows different. I and many others have looked for that interface, me for two years, others a little less. Tim made an interface to suit both caps. Not only did he make the interface but he very kindly put the wiring diagram up on www.difflock.com. Not much you might think but it is Tims bread and butter. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 PRC5077 is the sender/metal capunit for the older oval shaped metal header tank from RRC chassis number DA 274121, as you suggested Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slihp Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 would that cap fit a td5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 the metal prc5077 cap won't but the other plastic cap might, you'd need to try, the cap threads maybe different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromit Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 would that cap fit a td5 Once I have the new cap, I can send you the old one to try out, if you can't find one to try locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:-) Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Hi, I am the one Mike was referring to with his link to Difflock. BTW I've not had anything to do with muddyweb.co.uk. This thread has all the details you need to fit a coolant level sensor to a 300Tdi engine. The only bit I am supplying is the interface module; you will need to acquire the special cap (LR part: PRC7925) and whatever alarm you want be it a buzzer or lamp, etc. As you can see I used a spare lamp on the Defender warning lamp cluster. As it happens the owners of Difflock haven't yet put together a kit with all the parts, which is why I'm willing to sell the module by itself. The rest is up to you. B) -- Tim.
