    My Disco TDI sits around 88-90 in the city - average driving conditions. That's with original 1995 radiator.
    Mine generally runs between 85 & 90 probably closer to 85.

    Just wondering where the sender for the temp gauge is? Mine does some odd things and I think it might be playing up.

    What vehicle/engine are we talking about ? It will generally be around the thermostat housing somewhere.

    G'day Andrew

    What is the part number from Lionel Otto?
    I'm really keen on getting one of those.
    Where is the sender located?

    I was pointed to this today.
    http://prosportgauges.com/amber-whit...ure-gauge.aspx

    It's a bit "bling" for a Defender, but it flashes and has an alarm when pre set thresholds are exceeded

    Part number is 180 077 022. Comes as a kit. Gauge and sender are connected with a capillary tube wrapped in stainless braid. Tube is 1600mm long

    On the 300tdi, the sender is just under the thermostat housing on the Drivers side.

    Cheers
