I recently replaced sender and you're right they all have different resistance readings. I notice a 'genuine' Landrover sender 560794 made by Britpart in Poland is about £26 and a standard Britpart one made in China is less than a tenner! What do...

Hi. I suppose within the last 5/6 years I've done all that. Flushed through, renewed water pump, renewed radiator, various thermostats (including drilling hole)! new stabiliser and senders. It's a real mystery

Hi. I know this seems a common thread but one problem I've had for the last 12 years is the temperature guage steadily going up to the red! I've changed the sender a few times over the years and the voltage regulator ( which presently reads...
