qim Posted December 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) ...and here is the original Triumph part.

Guest Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 I will start by checking the gauge is correct. Can I do that at home, or do I need to send it to a specialist? For once, an easy job on a TR, provided you have the original thermostat. Basically, it's nothing more than removing the whole sender, the line next to the block towards the thermostat en and the gauge itself. Then, act like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkwJoLBGr9Q Make sure you DON'T bend the line between the gauge and the thermostat! Use a proper thermometer and be sure to set the units in F or C. Operating temp for my car is with the needle just touching the '1' of the '185' mark. When hot or in traffic, it will rise up to touching the '8'. Please make a video of it and post it here or on YT. I couldn't find one for the TR. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

qim Posted December 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 Hi Don That's the easy part; what to put in it is another story. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
