    water temp sensor - gauge

    yep green top sender is what you need

    Code~: AMR1425

    Also check you have good contuinuity on the sender cable as this screwed me over, then if you have to replace make sure you replace properly so it still goes through the speedo, i shortcutted and went straight to the guage then somebody pointed out that was why my guage was reading too hot still lol (thick moment)

    TD5 Temp sender/guage in 300tdi

    in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)

    Posted

    I know this topics been covered well but i couldnt find a final answer for my question

    i have recently followed retroanacondas brilliant guide on how to replace the guages on my 300tdi with the td5 ones i also did the warning lights at the same time.

    my problem is that i could never get the temp guage to work changed the sender twice for the green one AMR1425 i think. eventually thought it might be the cable even though it worked for the old one so very crudely ran a new cable from sender to guage and hey presto it works. now though it happily sits mid way all the time unless i giv it any power at all then it climbs up neer the end of the white scale towards the red.

    now i would think that this is perfectly normal really except for the fact it never used to do that, almost the entire cooling system has been replaced this year because it has a personal vendetta against me and also the fact that my viscous unit on the fan is completely foobarred so constantly spins :( GRRRRR.

    this is going to be replaced i just wanted to sort the guage befor e i messed with the only thing cooling my engine.

    I suppose my question is, is my sensor and guage fine but the new cable i ran in meant to have something in it, i.e resistor, nuclear warhead or something. or is just a plain cable ok????

    ANY Help Please :))))))

    Replacing a truck cab rear window

    in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)

    i got my new window off flebay genuine part, easy enough to fit but i got it for 69 quids and i think theyr still on there so if you do a bit of searching youll find a cheap one.

    just remeber if you use lazy tong rivet gun then you need to take the seats out also put silicon on when you fit the window so it seals on the metal properly.

    oh and they still rattle, cuz the sliding locks have poo tolerances i found if you recline the seats a bit more then they touch the windows and stop the rattles :)
