Temp Gauge - 200tdi in '86 90

(1/2) > >>

tjolliffe:
Hi all,
I've put a Disco 200tdi in my 90. Got the old problem of the temp gauge reading too high because the 200tdi runs at a higher temperature than the old 2.5 N/A. Can anyone tell me what temp gauge is best to use because I understand you cant actually change the sender due to different thread patters??
Any help/links to the correct gauge would be great!
Cheers

the land rover temp guages are very inaccurate anyway, i got a new aftermarket guage and sender to suit  for mine, i think its that tims stuff, but it is accurate, and they do senders with any threads to suit each engine.

the 200tdi doesnt run any hotter than the N/A,

however on my 90 when i converted mine to a disco tdi i fitted durite electrical temp guage with its own sender & did away with the standard guage & sender

Adaptor and transmitter, You need sender part number PRC 2505, and adapter part number ERC 8973. both Land Rover part numbers. I have just got these and gauge is spot on! This is the sender for 19j engine, and adapter to make it fit 200 TDI Disco engine. :wink:
