Water pump? Keep an eye on it. If the pump is dodge you might get a hot spot which dissipates very quickly when the engine is off.

its done it again to night i think it must be the sender cause it goes right up in to the red then i stoped turned it off let the guage drop back to cold then started back up and it was normal again, so new sender needed where abouts is the sender unit ??
