its a very long shot.
noone could probly help but anyways
the temp in my car is apparently running high (reading the guage). In the morning after a warmup (so the car is warm enough to rev and take off auto choke)
Ok so car is warm and the guage reads half. So i go to the radiator and feel the cap and its coldish.
I showed dad and he even took off the cap and it was cold - no over spurting involved so it wasnt hot.
So anyways on a hot day the guage sits under the redline in the temp (tg sedan guage)
I made a better earth from the -ve battery terminal which helped with the temp going up when i turned lights on.
So im kinda worried about the whole thing.
New temperature sender maybe? new guage?
cheers

try checking the thermostat if the engine water temp is high but there is coldish water in the top radiator tank. if u r not sure, take the thermostat out out and put it in a old baked bean tin and fill with boiling water - it should open after a minute or so
Cheers
