I put the sender unit from my 2.5TD into the 200Tdi when I converted and it reads much higher at normal temperatures than the TD did.
The higher reading looks normal for the 200Tdi.

Not quite. It lingers short of the red and never goes into it even under heavy load with no air coouling the rad.

Just get the right sender and swap them (they're only about 6 quid)...mine now sits in the middle nicley. Go up to 3/4 when cruising at 70. Never gets into the red.

Ok so I bought the temp sender for the petrol motor Landy, part no. PRC 2505 - fits my thread type ok.
however on a short run the temp gauge still rises into the red, so I'm starting to think it could be the wiring that is at fault rather than the sender.
any pointers on where to start looking? behind the dash?

Why did you buy a petrol one??? have you got a petrol engine or gauge???

The guage is calibrated to the temperatures for the 2.5TD not the 200Tdi.
If you want the guage to sit in the right place then you need to get a 200Tdi guage for the defender and the 200Tdi sender.
Or you could get a digital temperature setup and see what temperature the engine sits at during normal use.
Either way, unless the engine is boiling over after every use I wouldn't worry and just change your expectations of where the guage sits.
