i found the red/yellow wire but has been cut along with a brown wire beside it can someone help and tell me where it goes as im waiting on wiring diagram in the post and would like to try and fix it asap.
the wires come out of a connection that is in a black box left side top engine but dont go anywhere someone has wired some other wire where the red/yellow wire should go and probaly the brown wire.

Which engine do you have for starters ? I'm sure someone will be able to help once we know that.

engine is 1.9 petrol watercooled
ive checked if the red/yellow wire is live (its not) and i think it should go to the temp sender on top of engine .the wires which conected to sender at the moment are live so i think the best thing to do is get a new temp sender and see if it works

If it's an early DG (big waterpipes across the rear of the engine) then the temp. sensor is near left-hand corner as you look from the back. the red/yellow wire should have a 6mm wide female spade terminal to slide over the circular pin on the sender.

On a late DG the sensors are on the thermostat housing, far left-hand corner as you look from the back. They are on a multi-plug from memory.
