Yeah Syncro it is, hmmm i did not think about it at all when i posted, i wonder why syncros have metal ones? Im glad you mentioned!

Well, one reason might be that the sender's/switches used earth through the metal housing and only have one wire to them, so a plastic replacement won't work without modifying the electrics.

Anyone in the Worcestershire area got a decent 14" wheel and tyre for sale?

I would think it's more to do with earth connections in such an unusually wet environment.
I modified my electrics to fit a metal housing..

Took her back for her MOT retest today and passed with flying colours

I made an external tightener for the thermostat housing cover, works just fine haha.
