Yes there are. A common problem at the moment is that none of the senders
currently sold suit the stock temperature gauge in the Stag.

Although you can do that, it will almost certainly result in a gauge that will
not ever read "hot". The gauges are very non-linear, so the sender resistance
that makes them read full "hot" is too small to have any effect at mid-range.
Are you sure that the gauge you have isn't designed to be used with a "voltage
stabilizer" ?
