looking at the float check the wire on the bottom of the float.
and also put a new earth to the the float plug mine wouldnt work and it was a bad earth if i remember theres 2 blck wires its the think one of the 2 is the earth .
best of luck ..
-
well ive tryed all the earths and cleaned them up and replaced the ones that broken off in my hands .
ive even tryed the earth lead to the battery then to engine and still no joy got loads of heat now and still no temp gauge .
oh i did change the temp sender on top off head /rocker cover but no joy .
any more things to check this is baffleing me .ive taken the dash out of my other disco and still no joy mmmmm going bold with all the head scratching lol

Road tax for 4x4s to double Print E-mail
Monday, 19 March 2007
Chancellor Gordon Brown • Chancellor to announce budget on Wednesday
• Heaviest-polluting cars to be hit with double road tax
• Idea is to encourage sales of low-polluting cars
When the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown, announces his budget on Wednesday, it's likely that owners of the heaviest polluting cars will face substantial increases in road tax.
Cars in pollution band G, which includes many 4x4s and sports cars, could pay twice as much as they do now, according to some reports.
Gordon Brown is to put up road tax on the most polluting cars to encourage people to buy green cars At the last budget, a higher rate of Vehicle Excise Duty (VED - road tax) was introduced, which meant that heavily polluting cars paid £210 per year. Now, it's possible they'll pay double - up to around £400 a year. Instead of the increases coming in immediately, though, it is thought they will be brought in over two years. The Chancellor is believed to want to use the tax system to encourage car buyers to choose more environmentally sound vehicles by increasing VED in this way, rather than simply pricing such cars off the road.
