My dash was giving the temp (flashing thermometer) warning meaning either the water was low in the reservoir or some other water/temp related problem.
In my attempt to determine the cause, I unplugged the connector to the reservoir and shorted the contacts in the plug and hey presto no more warnings. From this I deduced that the float or contacts in the bottom of the reservoir had gone TU so ordered a new one (£20) yes the one where they decided to change the plug configuration.
Having had it a week I just got time to fit it today (cut the socket off and fitted spade connectors) only to find the dash warning is still activating. It goes out after about 2 miles drive when the temp reaches 90C.
can it be the cooling fluid not having the correct conductivity when cold..........na surely not.
or am I missing something here.........anyone any thoughts
