hello everyone, temp gauge has just decided to stop, no warning, working fine for ages, then never came on when i started her up and hasnt worked since, is this a common problem, and whats the likely fault please? also do you all get a bit of gurgling noise from the rad when youve turned off?

Check the fuse and the wires that got to the sensor ..

as for the gurgling, sounds like you have air in the system or a leak somewhere, are you using any coolant ?

thanks for replies, before i got the chance to check anything out, bless me it just started working again! will see what transpires, mark its not used any coolant as far as i can see, at least levels in bottles havent dropped any, am going to do anti freeze change in next couple of weeks, will see if that cures it insomuch as gettin any air out
