Which green wire!

[badfelafel]

I've got a temp gauge ready to go on, and have the speedo out.
I was expecting to see a green wire with a sticker on it saying "ME! You want me!" but instead theres approximately 2 or 3 million green wires there coming out the back of the speedo

Theres one that goes from a little box at the top of the back of the speedo down to the fuel gauge - will try that and let you know!

No no no no no!
Cut the RED wire!

(sorry, too many bad movies )

[badfelafel]

Oh no, I cut the red wire and the car exploded!

Actually, I used that one, and just after I switch on the gauge moves on to C which is a good sign! Will drive into town just now, hopefully it will move into the middle at some point. Of course, it could be completely wrong !!!

Just back from town. Temp gauge seems to work! Great

It goes up when sitting in traffic. It was quite high going up a steep hill with no cool wind.

It goes down when cruising along in 4th with a cool wind hitting the car.

Mostly it stayed around the middle of the white part.

But can you tell from it at what point the engine is about to boil over?

the gauge got high before i'd have been worrying, but we will see on longer journeys to come!
