Hi peeps!
i finally got my car on the road and am now finding out whats good and not so good:)
Can anyone tell me which switch is for the temperature gauge as it doesnt work. (there are 2...the other one is presumably for the electric fan)

think the one on top of the water flange is for the temp guage (yellow and red i think??)
the electric fan is turned on by the switch on the rad itself, lower down.
Think you'll find one of the switches ur on about does cold start, and the other does temp guage :-)

Do you mean the two sensors on the water pipe coming from the block? The one closest to the block is blue and the next one is black/red? I think the black/red one is related to your temp gauge and temp warning light, the blue one is for the ecu.

has anyone else had any issues with overheating? we have changed the temp gauge and although this did seem to cure the problem whilst on its way home from the garage it is now back to its old tricks. the temp sits at 3/4's which doesnt leave much room if on a longer journey for getting any hotter.

checked for head gasket failure or could just be faulty clocks!
