Greta job there, Those gas struts are great . Might have a go at the Indicator stalk next, think I know which wires they are . did you just run yours up the side or id there somwhere to hide them going up to plug ? W

Well fitted new sender and now working, BUT still not sure if working properly. Once again fired it up and let it run thought it was going to settle down once it got to half way, but after a good 20 mins it was still slowley rising up to the red. now remember this is only Idling as not driving...

Wired everything back up, certain its right this time will take pics later. let it run a good 20 mins fuel gauge works but temp gauge did not move, no reading at all on sender when I tried again with multimeter , popped in and got new one, readings are very similar to yours so gonna try and get...

Probably didnt measure mine properly, should have took it off and done it in boiling water ect. Going to try and have another go today at wiring, and flushing matrix out, then see whats what.

Thanks will try and have a go tomorrow. I just got the one from toolstation, Think the thermostat opes around 82 or am I wrong, anyway what readings should I be expecting after idling for a while, should it get to a certain heat then stay there ? whats to hot ?

Yes sorry

Thanks does the Blue Feed to B go to one of the ignition points on barrel .? my blue feed comes from fuse box. Where the hell am I going wrong on gauge wires ?

The one from series 3 was screwed to speedo, but the one off the 2a Ambulance was screwed on to bulkhead . So Do gauges go to I terminal and B goes to battery supply on ignition ? just a matter of which order from my birds nest. Called in...

went to get correct sensor 560794 today but turns out the part number 52770 I have are both the same part. Going to get one of these Draper Infrared Thermometer | Toolstation whats the best way to check with it. my trouble is I dont know what to look for , will have to find a guide on how to...

Only got the one my missus took My temperature with the other day :) which was 39.4, she recons it was way to high, but never mind its gone back to normal now. gonna sneak up tonight and see if I have one of those voltage stabilisers, if not will order one. Found these, I also have spare gauge...

No not been up yet can I just us thermometer to do that ?

There is one of these on the old ambulance, 148876A - VOLTAGE STABILISER 10V NEG. EARTH JAG JENSEN LAND ROVER LOTUS MG OEM | eBay is that what you mean ? can try it if I can wire it up the right way. gonna flush the heater matrix out too, as quite a few people say it could be an Air Lock in...

Will have a go when I can get up again. mine has a tap on hoses that run in to matrix. only problem I will have is I dont have running water on tap, jus 5 gallon drums.

Will try my local landy shop tomorrow, they might have one in stock, still not right yet will have to get the missis to call in for it. :(

Will try the 560794 it is on here too Cylinder Head - 2.25 Litre Petrol - Find Land Rover parts at LR Workshop cant remember why i went for the 52770 now. so do you think changing sender will / should solve the problem ?

like I mentioned before the sender was Nightmare to find where it went on engine, once the bolt was out had to get this to fit a sender as would not fit in the threads in block.

Been hit by some kind of bug today, hoping it goes away, takes a lot to put me down but this thing has got me floored, cant stop bloody shaking, every part of my body aching. Managed to have a quick go at testing sender this morning, not sure if this will make any sense or not but when Cold it...

If I wire them to where they were before the water sender just slowly goes straight up to top. Will check sender today. It just does not seem to be pumping water round engine for some reason, Rad is very hot top and bottom. This is the temp sensor I have

Not sure how much of a problem this is yet. 2.25 Petrol. not on the road yet in the process of rebuild. Dont think there is any water coming out of top hose into engine, or bottom for that matter, first thing I done was pulled the thermostat out and done the check in boiling water and it opes...

Gonna check this in morning when engine cold then check again when heated up. sender is brand new but knowing my luck probably got a knackered one. Something else is bugging me though. with all this starting engine up every now and again I now think something is up with water running through...
