Thx for that,

But still can't work out which is the correct one. There are multiple different models. They don't have photos to identify them. The sender has a green collar, but there are black ones, red ones et al.

Have found one on Famous Four (L-R site) that looks to be the thing, but it's gonna cost me a tenner to find out.It's got a part no of 1277.

If anyone knew for definite, that would save me taking a chance.

Cheers

Phil

SNB802 (Lucas, black top); recently fitted in the Griff. £5.16 + £2.00 P&P from Simpsons Supplies Ltd (01876 510380). Give 'em a call.

Thx for that, 2M

Are the Griff gauges the same as the Chim? Mine are the Caerbont gauges. The long story is: I changed out the "normal" temp sender and the gauge still reads low and never gets above 70 degC.
Got a precision decade (resistance) box and fitted as the sender and the gauge is reading ~10deg low. However, the "normal" sender decreases in resistance with rising temp, so I can't "fix" it by adding in more resistance. So, I believe I can try the R-R sender with a resistance mod.
Maybe delusional, and should bite the bullet and get a new gauge. But I'll try this first.

Cheers

Phil

Looked up that sender, it's the one for the ECU. I'm looking to replace the unused one with the single pin connection and green ring

Cheers

Oops, I messed up there didn't I? Sorry for the confusion. I'd still give those guys I mentioned earlier a call though if you havn't already.

Looks like I may have tracked it down. After a load of confusing hunting, it looks to be a AMR1425. It's only 3 quid delivered so I'll try that for the moment.

Thx anyway

Phil
