Hi all I've got a 110 with a disco 300tdi in it tends to run very near to the red most of the time is this normal. The head has been done and the thermostat renewed should I go for an updated rad I don't won't to go electric fan
^^^This.
Treat the sender & temp gauge as a matched pair.
Or just fit a decent aftermarket temp gauge with its own sensor.

Hi folks finally got back to Ireland to check defender temp. I changed the temp sensor and ran engine up on the road gauge is read in top side of the white but not going into the red. Took a reading at the thermostat head and I'm getting 84 I'm thinking it's ok maybe the gauge needs renewing. Is it better to go aftermarket or original

I’d say that was a bit hot. What thermostat have u got in. Mine opens 88-92 and just sits at that temp

I was having a similar issue with my disco 200tdi conversion. Turned out to be the temp sender, bought the correct one from Steve Parkers, works as it should now.
