Hi All,
So I thought I'd put this in the series section as there isn't a dedicated subforum and I know some people do swap the 2.5 17H petrol engine into series Landys.
Backstory is that in my newly acquired 110 the temp gauge is getting quite high and almost into the red when the engine is up to temp, I've not been on any long drives yet, just a mile runs so far due to other issues like the brakes that im working on getting sorted out. I was told by the seller it's the temp sensor at fault, it doesn't actually overheat, and that does seem to be the case so far... nothing seems like its getting too hot checking with an infrared thermometer. I'll probably replace the thermostat anyway as I guess that could also be the issue, but I was trying to search for the right temp sensor for the 17H engines.
I bought PRC3541 as it was listed as being right but firstly its got 2 pins instead of just one, and also its massive! Now I see there is an adapter between the current sensor and the block but it still just seems a bit big? Also if it did happen to fit what about the second pin? is that just a ground? So what do you guys think? what actually is supposed to be the right one for the 17H? also any other thoughts on this issue?
