After a bit of an oil pump disaster I have had to change the engine in my 300tdi defender . I have been told by the breakers that the new one is a Discovery engine.Which fits because the turbo manifold was in the wrong place
The temp guage is now playing up. When the engine is off its reading well above the cold on the gauge. When running its right in the red but the thermostat is closed , replaced that bad boy as well, checked it and its sorted . I initially thought it was the sender and replaced i,t first with a cheap pattern one and then with a genuine landrover one still no difference . The sender that in the old engine was a green topped one as was the old one in the new engine .I even opened up the dash and disconnected the gauge ,still reading so probably the gauge then. Have I missed something . I have got my hands on a TD5 temp gauge and was going to fit this to see it it made a difference , Will it fit . Basically is there any difference between a defender and discovery 300tdi sender unit and are they interchangeable with a TD5 gauge.
Please help cause this is getting right on my man boobs.
