Baffled!!

(1/5) > >>

BK:
Recently done a disco 200tdi conversion on my 90 (old 2.5td) everythings ok except the temp gauge reads too high,needle sits just b4 red, engine is fine not overheating,so I read up a bit and found out that its the temp sender,so I swapped it for one from a defender 200 tdi (prc 8593) and guess what???the needle sits in exactly the same place,just b4 red..............im baffled.........any ideas???? :-k :? :? :?

pondy653:
I had this but mine was a factory 200, tried various senders to no avail so fitted a TIM gauge which came with a matched sender and all was well.


Good luck

Guardian.:
AGREED, I have fitted a tim guage and appropriate sender for my v8 and now have an accurate reading, i find the landrover ones do just sit under the red, they are as good as useless.

extreme90:
chuck the land rover unit in the bin and fit a proper guage with figures on it

BK:
gonna try it with a capillary gauge and sender plumbed into the top hose cos i dont trust the wiring either,i tried it with another gauge and as soon as i turn the leccy fan on the needle shoots up to the red,what do they make 90 wiring from?chuffing thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :evil:
