Default temp sensor

Hi all,

Just wondering what the wisdom is here wrt to a temp sensor for a 164. The gauge barely rises in the dash, it might go as far as the bottom of the green marking. Shorting the wire on the sensor to ground doesn't make it rise either (as I believe it should). The other gauges in the dash function normally.

Has anyone else here had the same problem? What did you do to sort it out? Has anyone got a universal replacement for the temp sensor in the head?

Can I ask the same Q for the sensor at the brake distribution block/handbrake switch which I believe are linked. The previous owner had pulled the wire off the sensor at the distribution block - when I connect it up the brake failure and handbrake lights come on. (brakes and handbrake are working AOK).

Thanks,

Fran
