water temp 134 degrees!

driving through London today and water temp jumped from from 100 to 114 to 120 to 134!!! Oil temp basically static at late 90s. Wasnt sure whether it was a faulty temp relay to pod cos fans came on but not until temp got to 116! I think it must be a faulty temp sender. Pls put my mind at rest!

Dont panic yet,change both temp senders,one of them is faulty this will be hopefuly all it is.If not the problem then have it flat bedded to your trusted local.

If steam wasnt pissing out it is the sensors ( so i was told by BARNET TVR when it happened to me.

no steam at all - car felt fine. Righly or wrongly, I looked at the oil temp and as it wasn't moving up decided it was likely to be a faulty reading. I'm going to have a look at the temp sender today - any idea what it looks like - I'm told the one for the pod is near the first cylinder (front of engine). The helpful chap at Clever Trevor said I should see if it could be cleaned up before looking to buy a new one.
