Coolant Level Light
Nothing too serious for my 300GES?
My coolant warning light has recently remained on. The running temp is always around 85 and the level in the tank is perfect - any clues, could the sensor be bust?
Replies much appreciated - thanks.
Oh, since I'm on any good advise on buying/sourcing complete exhaust system - mine is coming to the end of its day?
you sure its not the washer bottle level light, some get confused with that one.
Get a compelte stainless one by www.powerflowexhausts.net. cost £450 for complete one made to order and to my spec, while you wait. nationwide network.
I had my exhaust done by these people: http://www.stainless-exhaust.com/ It was arguably more expensive than PP's quoted price but the system on a 463 is also more complicated and convoluted than that of a 460.
Being your G a 1991 model, I think that you can make do with the catalyst of your system. In that case, I would just leave a long longitudinal silencer connected with the downpipes that connect to the exhaust manifold in one end and with the tailpipe at the other end (# 1) and remove the other two silencers (numbers 2 and 3 in the picture). That should make the system cheap, efficient and exciting.
I forgot to say that my system has a long straight pipe in lieu of # 1, but the rest is exactly as in the picture (original). It has a nice, raspy, throaty note and can pass the MOT without a wink from the tester. Had I know then what I know now, I would have gone for the setup I just suggested to you which is much simplier and must be much cheaper. But mine is a G300 Diesel. I don't know if having one silencer instead of 3 would be too much for a G300 Petrol.
Thanks for all the info on th eexhaust system options, very useful indeed.
In regard to the coolant light any ideas.
Any advice much appreciated.
All sorted, the sensor was busted, once replaced all good.

Thanks Peter
Unfortunately it was not the screen wash level! The other strange thing is that the light (yellow) is much, much brighter than the other lights - the others would seem dim in comparison. Any ideas - could it be a freak?
As I mentioned previously the coolant level and temp are perfect .
Looking forward to your response.
