Title: temp guage question
Post by: MudRat on September 16, 2008, 20:30:33

every temp guage needle on every landy i have had have always sat in the middle, my new one sits on the right, on the edge of the white bar, not on the gap or on the red, stays there fine, should i be worried, is it a thermostat problem, should i leave it?

Mine is in the same position, to the right on the line so sounds like it should be ok

Mine was the same until I bought a 'new' one from fleabay and the new one sits in the middle. Must be old age getting at the gauge :roll:
