So... I have a 90, originally a td but converted to a disco 200tdi (not my doing)
Background -
I’ve just replaced the water pump and stat (yes I checked it first) I’ve flushed the whole coolant system and as far as I know, a standard rad is fitted (with a manually operated electric fan)
My question - how do I know if I have the right sender and/or temp garage?
There’s lots of threads on the matter but none that explain how you KNOW what is actually fitted.
My issue is, in this super cold weather, my temp gauage in slow moving traffic, at faster speeds, or when giving it some wellie (if that’s even possible in a landy) seems to sit between half and 3 quarters almost into the red. Although, I’ve never had it ‘overheat’ and never any steam or funny smells.
I’m just worried that if it was to genuinely overheat, I may not ever know until it’s too late! As my gauge doesn’t give any sort of reading that makes much sense!
Thanks for reading and drop a comment If you may be able to shed some light on the matter for me
