Got to take the doris and her mate to have routine check ups tomorrow, hasn't been driven since October, so checked batteries, down to 12.3 volts, put on charge for a few hours. checked all the usual, all ok, started no problem, let her run for a while to warm up. Early start in the morning.

anyone ever upgraded to a 'proper' coolant temp sensor? something like..

in the top hose should let you use a custom gauge and sender

I'd like one for my electric fan but I've no idea about thread sizes and whether there is a sender that has the correct temp rating for the fans to kick in?

i bet you could use something like

and swap the sender for one that screws in

Agreed. Just fit a new coolant sender switch/thermostat and go by the dash guage. Less hassel all round.

By the time the needle moves to the red on a v8, the damage is likely already done
Just be aware you might have to apply for one.....
Hi Anthony,
IMPORTANT – please read if you’re taking your vehicle outside the UK from January 2021
You don’t currently need a Green Card to drive your vehicle in the EU, and that will still be the case until 31 December 2020. But if you’re leaving before that date and coming back after, you might need one.
It's possible that the UK and EU won't have a new trade deal at the end of the Brexit talks and "transition period". If this happens, you'll need a Green Card to drive your car in Europe.
Click here to get your Green Card.
Please allow up to 7 days for us to process your request.
What's a Green Card?
A Green Card is an internationally recognised insurance document that proves you have the minimum level of cover legally required by country you’re visiting.
You'll need to request a Green Card for your trip as they aren't issued automatically. You may not be allowed to enter a country outside the UK without one and bear in mind you’ll need to take a hard copy – having it on your phone isn’t enough.
Further updates
The circumstances around Brexit are complicated and may change in the coming weeks and months.

My last two insurance companies have both sent me a green card out without asking, TBF, I'm guessing most people in Northern Ireland cross into the EU more than peeps on the mainland.

There's plenty of roads where you cross the legal boundary every few 100 yards

Yep. One of my favourite camping spots is in Donegal. I tried to count once how often I crossed the border on the forty minute drive. Lost count after fifty.

problem is, its an idiot gauge that shows cold, normal, too hot, the needle doesn't move in an analogue way, it will 'jump' from normal to too hot within seconds
