Hmm, well I stand corrected, sounds like a health and safety violation though. :Giggle

Is there any reason my Add coolent buzzer should have come on today when using it?

It didn\'t get warm and stayed at just below 90 on my FC Commander..

I did notice a black single wire from the top of the power steering pump had broken from the plug when i was de-flooding it last night.

Think this could be anything to do with it?

Thanks

The coolant buzzer wire does go by the P/S pump so that\'s likely the culprit.

:) Coolant Buzzer wire, if thats broken it is the most anoying noise. That wire does dry out and is quite easy to damage, i sugest you have a good look at the condition its in and maybe replace it further back so it doesn\'t snap in a diffrent place while your out in it and have to put up with that anoying sound.

So is that wire off the top of the powersteering pump the coolant buzzer wire?

Its strange, sometimes it doesn\'t come on and other times it comes straight on.. Ive checked all the fluid levels etc

Boggles my mind and its the most annoying noise ive ever heard haha

Sorry no its the Single black wire on top of the Water pump next to the Alt.

Sounds like thats some thing to do with the PS you have there. You will know if its the Coolant buzzer wire thats gone it will drive you mad. If the buzzer comes on every so often its usaly ither Caps getting a bit past there best or the Pipe that conects the AST and the Overflow tank letting air in. (also check the sprung cap is on the ast, plain cap on the engine)
