task Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I have a serpentine Rover V8 with hotwire EFI. As fitted to Softdash Range Rover Classics and to facelift Discovery 1's. The water temp sender (mounted front right of the inlet manifold) has a rather interesting connection that I don't seem to have a connection for. Anyone know what it is or, even better, where I can find one? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Is this the sender for the EFI or the gauge? If for the EFI then it's a normal mini-timer connector. If for the gauge, isn't it just a peg, with serrations along it? Seems a normal bullet connection may do the job: http://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/product/31/category/6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
task Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 I tried bullet connectors but the peg is a smaller diameter so it doesn't make contact. I tried adjusting the connection with some pliers but it just popped off it looks like this; and feeds the gauge. I believe it may also be used for 300 tdi's too.

cosecon Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 You could easily use one standard pvc terminal block like one of these. http://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/product/49/category/116 Check for correct size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had thought about that, and it might do for a quick fix, but I'd rather it look proper in the long run. I may resort to emailing breakers to see if anyone can chop that bit off a loom for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Similar to a 300Tdi temp sender fitting, I just used a closed up female bullet connection, it hasn't fallen off yet. http://www.autosparks.co.uk may be able to supply a suitable end fitting.

Same, works better than the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
