CAN YOU FOOKING BELIEVE IT!!! jumped in the 90 wid my misses tonight with the intention of "if it goes it goes" i wanted to take it out after 4 months of work and never even driving it. I now couldn't care if she gave up on me.. We got about 1/2 a mile and the temp gauge was on half! jumped out...

temp sender?? where is that to? looked in haynes manual and couldn't find it. Thanks sir odd one

ok took the water pump off everything looked normal and quite new..I think i might bust out the hammer and let loose on the thing its driving me insane..

ok thanks mr hunter i'll give that a go 2moz as long as i don't have to take the head off or anything. I think the waterpump is bolted on the front so should be easy. yea mine will hit 60 but it seems like its hitting the boll**s out of it. My fillins almost come out lol. 50 is a nice drive but...
