Temperature Sensor

[Bob Shoosmith]

I have a Moss Malvern based on a GT6 Mk3. Space within the engine bay is very restricted, and I am trying to locate where the water temperature sensor is located. The gauge has stopped working, and I am trying to eliminate all possible problems. The Haynes manual has it in the thermostat housing, but mine is not there. Does anybody know where else it could be located.

Thank you.

Usually on the water pump housing, just below the thermostat housing.

Apart from that, it could be fitted into a hose, via an adapter, somewhere?? 

Has it ever worked??

 

You may just need a decent torch, and a sharp pair of eyes.....

Hi Clive

Yes it used to work fine. Its recently come back from a body shop after a re spray, since then it has not worked. I asked the painter if he knew of anything he may of disconnected, but he doesn`t.

As I say, there is very little room inside the engine bay and is very restricted unless you are 2 foot tall with a triple articulated neck and arms! But I will persevere!

Thanks for your help.

there's also tapping in the rear o/s top of the head which sometimes get used ( generally for heaters /etc )  but same thread 

 

sky hook , upside down vari focals, and knee pads are all part of the classic kit.....and sticky plasters
