  1. I take it the sender is 1/8 NPT? Sorry for the late reply, work has been hectic over the last few weeks. I purchased a TIM temperature gauge with sender and didn't require an adapter, just screwed right in. The gauge seems to be sitting at about 80Β°on a short warm up. Got the day off tomorrow, so eill take it for a quick run. On a side not, not paying attention, pulled the ECU sender out by mistake, as I unplugged it, on of the wires snapped, so that now has new connectors on it too. Fingers crossed that's the end of that saga, just a couple of minor jobs at the weekend ready for the 140 mile trip to the LRO Show. I know I have been rather absent from my own thread but I have really appreciated the advice given by you guys...πŸ™‚πŸ™
  2. After months of procrastination, finally had a proper look. Earth behind the clocks appears to be good according to my circuit tester. Unplugging the sensor does nothing to change the actions of the temp gauge and as far as I could see, the wiring is fine. When the ignition was left on, the gauge would go from cold to off the scale and then slowly sink down before climbing back of the chart. So my conclusion using the above advice is to order a new gauge as I want this sorted before the LRO show as it's a above 140 miles each way. Thank you for all your input.
  3. Yes, it's fine. The test drive showed no movement from the temp gauge even when hot. So gone from red hot with ignition on to nothing. Unfortunately due to work, not going to get a chance to look at it for a couple of weeks. I'll report back. 😁
  4. Well, just been out and turned the ignition on. No movement from the guage, so going to take her for a test drive later and see what the guage does. Thinking about adding a totally stand alone guage and in hose sensor as a back up regardless of what I have to do to the original. Also wondering about a separate engine monitoring system as water temp is the only way I currently have of monitoring the engine.
  5. Haven't had time to touch it, so having a quick look now. Have bought a new stat to fit as I am going to replace a couple of hoses when I have the plenum chamber off soon. I appreciate all the replies and will be back with the results...😁
  6. I have a laser thermometer, that's how I know the engine isn't overheating, as I checked when I got home from the mot test. Will go and check the wiring. Not sure, not had a problem until recently. The conversation was done nearly 20 years ago by Frogs Island. From what I can see there are two senders, one is identfor the v8 and 300tdi, the other I think is different, but I didn't realise there were two until a little while ago. Thank you
  7. To be honest, didn't notice the gauge reading hot until I replaced the rad last summer. The conversation was done nearly 20 years ago. I will check the earths once it's stopped raining... Should have been the first thing I checked...lol Thank you.
  8. So the 90 has according to the gauge been running hot for the last few weeks, just under the red. Tuesday, the gauge goes to the top of the red, so let the 90 cool, turn the ignition on and the gauge goes to the top of the red. Unplug the temp sender and the gauge still goes straight to red. Not being an electrical genius, I am surmising a faulty gauge. Now unless I have missed something, it's time to order a new gauge. Now do I go for an original or something after market that has the temp in numbers rather than white and red? Do I order a new sender, just to be safe? Any answers suggestions welcome. The 90 is like triggers broom. 1993 200tdi model with a 1994 Discovery 3.9efi with auto box. New radiator with twin electric fans, which didn't come on but I know are working.
  9. Absolutely gutted, I can't really go into details but a representative from JLR came to my work with a large scale model of the new Defender. Unfortunately as the only Land Rover fan working, I was on a break when he came in...πŸ™
  10. I don't know. I would buy the new 80" Defender or the back to basics two door Range Rover that LR have started to build...
  11. I seem to remember that on a previous thread, someone also put ducting inside the dash so that the hot air is directed straight to the vents...
  12. We need a multi point lock, so when you lock the door a bar goes into the tub and the bulkhead...
  13. How about a wire that plugs the Defender into the house? Unplug the wire and an alarm goes off in the house unless switched off inside first...
