Hi bigadz I think that's the sensor for the ecu I'm after the other one which runs to the temp gauge in the dash and yes it's a bd job I've ended up removing the bonnet and radiator as well but mainly so I can get to the chassis easier I just want to change all the sensors while I'm in there

Oh okay Paul, I can't help you with that one I'm afraid. At least you have filled me with confidence though! Lol smile

It's a mechanical gauge so capillary fixed to back of it, whole lot comes out through the dash.

Do you mean that you have to buy a gauge as well ?

No you can get it refurbed by someone like Speedy Cables, but whole lot with guage has to be sent to them.

Just had my full set of pipes changed and chassis cleaned up and painted etc. I have a temp fix on the temperature gauge as mine snapped going back in. Not to worry as I'm having the rev counter fixed at the same time.

Maybe it's me but the car is running even better with its new blue pipes?

If you get it out whole well done I managed being extra careful. If not repair or replace with a nice digital SPA dual gauge.
