I didn't know that, thanks for the heads up.
Where is the best place to site the sensor?

I tapped mine into the end of the water pump

Ive been having issues with the temp gauge on my 90, fitted with a Disco 200tdi,
Im looking into replacing the gauge in the binnacle with a capillary gauge. Can I just remove the sender from the thermostat housing and then screw the new one in its place?

Ive got two 200tdi, one disco and one defender, the adaptor supplied with the sender fitted one engine but not the other, cant remember which though!

Here is some temperature sender info I have collected.

The adapters are almost always 16 x 1.5, which is the later disco and (maybe) all defender engines. The early disco 200tdi engines need a 16 x 1.0 adapter, which are pretty rare. I ended up buying a Die and making my own.
