Tightened up the oil pipes and the leak stopped. Took it for a blast and the needle did the usual: didn't move for two miles then shot up to the end of the white area. When I stopped the top radiator hose was hot and the bottom only warm so the new radiator is good.
I swapped the header tank for the original TD one just in case but made no difference.
As it stands:
New hoses, temperature sensor (defender 200tdi), thermostat (88), water pump and radiator.
The needle settles on the upper edge of the white area and makes me panic.
Could it be that the gauge has gone funny? I'm tempted to put a digital one on?
Is the TD gauge different from the 200tdi?
