Oh dear, it is definitely the water temp sensor at the back of the head next to the valve cover with the tube to the gauge. There is no oil in the rad nor any water apparent in the oil so am mystified by this. The temp gauge didn't work at all as someone had fiddled with the outer mesh on the tube and I suppose it has emptied itself into the water jacket. Will have to do a proper flush when the new gauge and sensor arrives and then see whether there is any overheating. Car starts and runs perfectly and even passed the emissions check for the French MOT with flying colours he was very impressed at the emissions or lack of them.
