Engine Temperature Transmitter Problem

Could anyone please advise me how to locate the engine temperature sensor on my Scorpio 1995 2.0L 16v dohc? Better still is there any way I can get hold of a diagram of this assembly including its electrical connections? I live in France my local garage mechanic is telling me there is something wrong with a connection on the unit. To be honest I am not quite sure exactly what he means. However I do not think he is referring to the cable that attaches to the unit, more likely the connector on the unit itself. The problem started when the temperature guage suddenly decided to flick to maximum (intermittently I believe) when there is clearly nothing wrong with the engine temperature. I am inclined to order a complete new unit but am not sure which one to get. Apparently there are different coloured plastic connector heads on these. If anyone can advise me what would be the best course of action as well as pointing me in the direction of the unit's location I would be most grateful. I consider myself reasonably intelligent but not a very good mechanic especially when it involves anything electrical!
Many thanks

Page 6 of this PDF shows the location (the key to that drawing being on page 7):

I'm not familiar with the 2.0 engine connectors but I think that drawing may be showing the type of connector used on the 2.3, your's may be a simple snap on type (similar to the hatched line button connector that is shown behind the manifold - which is the oil temp sender).

This could just mean the sensor wires are being shorted together? So could be just a bad wiring problem?
