With the temperatures down here in Australia starting to climb again, I invested in an Engine Watchdog Tm2 audible engine temperature alarm. This is a simple device which monitors the engine temperature directly from the block. At only $AU149 with free postage worldwide it's cheap insurance!
Quoting from their website "By precisely monitoring the engines metal temperature instead of coolant temperature, the TM2 can detect engine overheating caused by low coolant, engine coolant leaks, radiator blockages, faulty thermostats, water pump failure and restricted air flow caused by grass and seeds blocking the radiator."

@trulymeparker It only has a bolt on sensor you connect to the engine block.

Hi Brett, good video I have been thinking about getting one of those temp gauges. Does it have a sensor that goes to the thermostat or does it just go onto a bolt in the engine bay?
