Re: Coolant temp
ahh ,thats me out then..only do diesels.
if you can find your temp sensor on't engine, pull the plug off it and run it to earth..the needle on the guage should go through the roof(not the van roof)..then you know its the sensor at fault
other than that its fault finding all the way back to the clocks

No the whole van.
It would be useful to you to find out what engine you have for any future queries.
Engine code is on the engine below the breather tower.
