Cheers braden, i chose to get the one without the sensor. $85. The one with the sensor was $195!!! :( At least ill be able to see how the fluid is going, so i wont need a light to tell me when its running low. Like i did with the mud puddle bottle.

cheers
Scott

Mine cost me $60 and $10 postage from Bayford's on eBay (no sensor as well)! I didn't think the sensor was that expensive! I thought it was only $20 more or so?
