Only one I can think of in that area is the coolant gauge sender - brown plug between rocker cover and manifold.........

If it's on top of the head then it's not the guage at all, it's the coolant sensor for the EGR system (ECU in the dash) but ifyou remove the plug you need to replace it with something

A blank blug for example, IIRC it's a 'wet' sensor

Wrong again eh!  :police:  Never was good with this electrickery stuff!   :roll:

 The sender will no doubt have some wierd pitch thread so a normal bolt prolly wont fit and it doesnt look big enough to be catered for by the usual 'plumbing' supplies - best thing to do is take it out and get some thread gauges on it.........
