oh ok nice one mate thanks
I'll get them ordered up tomorrow

try yer td sender unit fust ta mek sure yer need it but chances are you will

I put the sender unit from my 2.5TD into the 200Tdi when I converted and it reads much higher at normal temperatures than the TD did.
The higher reading looks normal for the 200Tdi.

How much higher? Does it go into the red?

Mine was doing 50Mph indicated on my speedo but everyone else was going backwards my dad reckoned his disco was up at 72Mph Really should change the speedo gear at some point

Ask steve parker for a temp sensor its only cheap and he will do all threads and colours/resistances/types. Jai

search for Temp and see what pops up

Not quite. It lingers short of the red and never goes into it even under heavy load with no air coouling the rad.

Just get the right sender and swap them (they're only about 6 quid)...mine now sits in the middle nicley. Go up to 3/4 when cruising at 70. Never gets into the red.

Ok so I bought the temp sender for the petrol motor Landy, part no. PRC 2505 - fits my thread type ok.

however on a short run the temp gauge still rises into the red, so I'm starting to think it could be the wiring that is at fault rather than the sender.

any pointers on where to start looking? behind the dash?

Why did you buy a petrol one??? have you got a petrol engine or gauge???

The guage is calibrated to the temperatures for the 2.5TD not the 200Tdi.
If you want the guage to sit in the right place then you need to get a 200Tdi guage for the defender and the 200Tdi sender.
Or you could get a digital temperature setup and see what temperature the engine sits at during normal use.
Either way, unless the engine is boiling over after every use I wouldn't worry and just change your expectations of where the guage sits.
