Good sensor location.
I might move mine to that spot as I get heat soak from the exhaust on my sensor mounted on the spare bolt hole towards the rear of the head.

My sensor is in the same place, and I have checked it against Nanocom temp and it was within 1C.

I recall checking another car where the sensor was at the back of the head and it read 9C!! cooler than Nanocam.

Strange, mine is on the bolt at the back of the head, and reads within 1*C of the Nanocam temp.

Mine use to run around 88*C all the time, but fitting an ARB front bar now runs at 92*C pretty much all the time.

I've even fitted a new OEM thermostat since the ARB bar, and no different.

However you're unlikely to have done any damage. I did a similar thing, didn't tighten it properly. Lost 3-4L.
Mine's still fine

I was assured by the gentleman at the Rover w'shope that even tho Britpart sometimes turned out some rubbish, as long as it was stamped with a part # and OEM quality, it was ok, and that they often used these particular items in their w/shop.

Nevertheless, I am aware of the rubbish name britpart has gotten themselves!

Attached is a pic of the new water outlet I had made to fit both the OEM sensor and the MadMan temp sensor, underneath U can see (in red) the EGT sensor.
I had compared the MadMan and nanocom and they are within 1 degree of each other.

Well, the other afternoon I was wondering, "gee, I wonder what difference to water temps the AC makes?"
So I switched it off, and the temp dropped by 3 or 4 degrees!
"gee, that temp dropped fast" I said to myself, and switched the AC back on, only to see them temp jump up almost instantly by 3 to 4 Degrees...

So th'sarvo I did a little experiment, plugged the nanocom in, compared the temps at idle in the driveway, both about 91/92 after a trip home from newcastle.

switched on the Ac, the Headlights, High Beam, rear AC on FULL, Hazard lights, windows up and Down, and SLS compressor all going, whilst the nanocom temp hoverear around the 90/91 degree, the MadMan temp jumped higher and higher with each applicance I turned on, topping out at 104/105!
Turned it all back off, and it dropped back to match the Nanocom, turn the car off, and it dropped to 88!!!

Seems I have a voltage issue with my MadMan...
