Hi, could any body tell me where the temp sensor is on the engine cos my temp gauge keeps going up and down.I have run the car for about half an hour and the water seems to be getting pumped around the engine and the fans come on and i have heat inside the car but the gauge keeps droping into the blue.

The gauge runs off a single connection at the top of the engine near where the top hose goes in IIRC. The connection pushes onto a sort of spade connection. Mine was damaged and the gauge kept going up and down as yours did. I paid £8 for a new one from the motor factors but they can be had on eBay for about £2!

Then ignore what I said, I saw "cos" in your post and thought you were referring to the 24v - that will teach me to skim
