Hi I picked up my bus today a 1.6 jx td Westy from a failed MOT, due to corrosion around the nearside suspension mount, not really bad just a couple of holes the size of a 1 pence piece. On pulling out and driving approx 1/2 a mile the temprature light flashed continously and the needle was right on the bottom of the scale. I checked the water levels at both header tanks and they seemed fine. Any advice would be appreciated as Im a complete newcomer to T25's and definately no mechanic

My only idea was faulty sender? I checked the connections on the sender and wiggled them about but still no change.

Many Thanks,

James

yeah that would be my first port of call did the water boil over??
take off the oil filler cap when not running and check for a milky residue on the cap

Hi, we had the same problem.
I changed the sensor, which is located in the top of the header/expansion tank, no probs since

i have same prob at min had sensor changed couple of years ago.maybe its gone again are these prone to fail.

Hi engine definately not got hot, running perfectly just the flashing light. I will change first and hope that solves, if not will be back on asking for other ideas.

Thanks for the responses most appreciated.

James
