Couple of questions. 1) My temp gauge takes a lot to move it. It has to be a hot day and the car not moving to see any movement. Do you think it is the thermostat? The sender appears to be working as

To test the oil pressure light circuit, simply short the wire that goes to the sender to the engine block. If the light does not light up, something is wrong in the lamp(s) or the wiring. MK IV and 1

Quoting Douglas Braun <doug@dougbraun.com>: ... Real cars :-) use a circuit with a diode to perform this function. Does anyone else get hear "real car" comments when driving LBCs? I drive my car ever

Disconnect the wire from the sending unit and ground it to the engine block. The temp guage should do a full needle movement at that point as the sender is just a variable resistor of current coming

Of course, I meant "real" from an electrical point of view. Anyway, many large SUV owners do not seem to believe that my Spit exists. I have already seen two new Hummer H2's on the roads. One more th

Quoting Douglas Braun <doug@dougbraun.com>: I agree completely. It seems as if our cars are not ligitimate. I sometimes get the same treatment that motorcyclists complain about. I don't let it bother

Funnily enough, I suffer from this more in the Heralds than in the Spit. My convertible in particular appears to be completely invisible to many road users. They soon become aware of it when I sound

My thanks to Dan, Doug, Greg and Nick for their responses. For those interested, after doing the suggest easy test for the sender, I replaced the sending unit and presto, the temp gauge rises to just
