The temp gauge in my tipper hasn't worked since I got it last summer, I looked at the sender unit and its different to any other Transit DI I've had before, its like the old cortina/granada sender units with just one wire.
I checked the wire and it has 12v feed and if the wire is earthed the guage goes all the way up to max so all seems ok there.
I went to a good local motorist shop and they couldn't find anything like it listed for Transit 2.5 DI (all multiplug wired)but they managed to find a similar one for me, with a different coloured band around the top.
I fitted it and it sort of worked but the gauge went just past halfway and just into the red at normal engine running temp (the engine wasn't hot) and when I looked again later it had stopped working and the gauge was right back at the bottom, I've still got 12v feed to the wire so I assume the sender unit was either, the wrong one, was a duffer, or it has just packed in.
Question: Has anyone seen a 2.5DI with this type of sender unit and does anyone know which sender unit I need (part number) and where to get one please?
