Title: Hot or Not?
Post by: merlin617 on May 06, 2008, 12:03:43

Greetings all.

I wonder if any of you chaps can answer a question for me.

I am replacing the Normally asthmatic engine in my 90 with a 200TDI from a Disco and all seems to be progressing reasonably well. My question is; do I need to change the temperature sender unit from the disco one to one from a defender 200TDI as the gauges are obviously different and I feel that it might be helpful to have a rough idea weather the engine is running hot and likely to go into meltdown. Any advice would be gratefully received.  8-[
