Can you drip some oil into it?

Much either side of that indicates a faulty sender, connector or wiring.

Good spot. Still could be sensor.

Good evening, Robsey 

Not sure if I am thinking about this correct, so someone keep me straight if I am wrong…. Pop 14 pin connector off of dash pod. Leave relay 43 out. Go to temp sensor in engine bay, unplug, and measure resistance between red/yellow wire, and earth. It should be open circuit. If you have a short, ( pr...

I didn’t even notice!! 

Moores garage in Clevedon nr Bristol.

He did mine circa 2020. 
Still looks good ( when I clean it ) 

I know it sounds too much of a coincidence, but pop the connector off the temp sensor, loop it out with a paper clip, and see if gauge works. It should go straight to hot with flashing LED. Then you know the wiring is good before worrying about air locks you may or may not have? It is possible you j...

I remember that game, with ‘Snake’ as main character ( I think )
I had it on a PSP.

Oddly enough, I think I still have it on PSP if I could dig it out of boxes of stuff I never use now 

E D I T: I still didn’t know what COA was either 

Sounds like you’ve gone from high revs, to low now?

I remember you saying you used idle screw to lower them when it was idling high.
Did you put that back to original setting?

Is it consistently low recs now, or intermittent?

Think this is it.
Make sure you get the pins and rubber boot that are separate.

Yep, electrics can be very frustrating for sure. If there is nothing obvious in respect to disconnected connectors, dig out a multimeter.  Going to have to work through it methodically now I think. If you don't have one to hand, a very basic model from Halfords will do:  https://www.halfords.com/too...

I had one cut by this eBay seller, from a photograph and it worked perfectly. He also gave me the key code.   https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234790595895 We did the same with a locksmith once. Wife left her keys in her handbag when putting it into the boot of our old Passat. 30 seconds later it all loc...

Weird that it started revving high out of nowhere though.

You don't have a sticky throttle cable, do you, Tony?

Maybe just unhook it if you still get issues, see if idle return to normal, and make sure the cam motion is good.

Yeh, those tanks are minging to get off too. There are plenty of rubber grommets and breather hoses that can perish, plus the tanks have a ’nice’ bowl shape on the top that seems to collect years of grime and they rot through. Could be any of the above, or all if it hasn’t been changed before. Drop ...
