Chrissyboy, I think you should change you sig. Not only is it grossly untrue, it could lead people to a false sense of security.

Honest John mentions Xpart's sensor being fitted to other cars with K-series engines and suggests they may also fit the 75/ZT. I don't have the link, but easily found. I believe Brown & Gammond sell similar things. These are replacement header tanks.

just been havin a read on the coolant ystem on the k engine ,, it seems the header tank holds 1 litre of coolant so any header tank that holds 1 litre should be fine to use and not affect the emissions and leave engine to run as designed to do... i know it a big diffrence in price but i cant for the life of me see how something in the ppe will do the same job as a level ensor in the header tank ,, fair play to the guy inventing the one he is working on , maybe its just me not bein able to see what is in front of me ....,
