Exactly what happened to mine (2.1 DJ), changed the temp sender and all OK.

It should have failed for the 'tell tale' warning light on the fog lamp switch not working. It looks like he did you a favour there.

That would be my guess from the description.

Thanks for the opinions so far. Anybody else have any thoughts before I take the plunge?

I am looking to get a driveaway awning to replace the current one I have which is a pain in the backside to put up. Does anyone have any experience or comments on this one? http://shop.justkampers.com/product_info.php/cPath/5_4065_4400/products_id/11617 It's the 2007 Spacemaker driveaway awning from...

Had a problem with mine where it would start and run but as soon as you stopped it wouldn't start again because the plugs were black and sooty. ie. major over-fuelling. I replaced the blue water temp sensor in the thermostat housing and it resolved it. Could be worth a try, they aren't expensive. Mi...

I have a compression tester here Emma, if you need one.

They should have 'threadlock' on them according to my manual.

These people supplied all the hoses I used in my recent mechanical overhall. I found them to be very helpful. I think I used the 6mm hose for the fuel tank stuff.

They do stainless clips etc as well.

From a personal point of view I find I have more success with rusty nuts/bolts if you 'tap' the spanner with a hammer rather than just straining on them. It may be that it breaks the 'seal' Of the 8 nuts that bolt the exhaust to the head, the four I just tried to undo 'normally' sheared, the ones I ...
