My diesel runs close to the red on the temperature gauge. I've put a new thermostat in, flushed the radiator, new sender and still the gauge is in the red.

I had the bright idea (doh!) of measuring the temperature of the coolant at the top of the rad and found it to be 75 ish degrees.

Seems all good, but why's the gauge reading high.

Wrong temp sender?

OK, which type do I need.

Part number 560794 is fitted (a couple of days ago).

Oil pressure is off the scale (high).

Is this a clue?

Thanks Jamesmartin.

How do I check the stabiliser?

Do you have a part number, may as well change it if it is cheap enough.
