Maybe there is a wreckers in Kununurra that could help out ?

The guy in the parts shop has just told me (with the greatest confidence) that Land Rover's were never designed to leave the city.

These are probably the same people that drive those crappy little "Buzz Boxes" to Darwin or Perth from Kununurra that come to grief with animal strikes all the time

Maybe send Roverlord a message and might be able to freight one to your next destination or over night to Kununurra??

Just a thought have you tried cleaning the plug connection? Maybe just short circuiting with water?

If you need the part a specialist can TNT it to you via the TNT depot.
I had RRC top tailgate locks sent from Perth.
The sensor is not really a major worry if it has never come on before unless you are towing 3 tonnes. I left mine until I got home.

Already been on to them. Waiting for a reply.

Also, the plug looks okay (well, the one at the top of the radiator does). The connection to the actual sensor is all part of the module as far as I can tell.

That's a good point I suppose. I'm not towing and aren't doing anything strenuous. How long did you leave yours?

My next chance to get this looked at will be when I get to Geraldton in a month or so.

I don't know how it all works on a D2 due to all the electronics and stuff ...
But mine's been playing up on my D1(Auto) for months.
Freaked me out a little at first. Then I pulled the plug, put it back on and it all 'worked normal' again for a short while(as in light stayed off all the time)
I put it down to dirt ingress.

Then it came back on again, double checked pipe temps, didn't feel overly hot. Could touch the metal lines with my hand for a sec or two, felt like hot water from the tap.
infra red temp probe at various places recorded between 60-70°C.
Then of course it started playing up again, and I just ignore it.
It's on when it's cold, it's on when it's hot ..
I finally found the sensor part, expensive for a temp switch! .. but still have to install it.
Been contemplating adding an extra temp sender switch to monitor actual trans temps while I'm at it one day.

I was going to suggest to give Roverlord a call too .. but it's already been said.

ps. if you do a search for that part number, it shows both the oil cooler temp switch(TD5) AND the auto temp switch .. so they obviously used the same part type for both engine and trans oil monitoring
