mot'd at last!

[stevepsj413]

Finally passed my mot yesterday, well happy, had to lower my emissions by fitting a new engine, it was my last option, top end was kaput on the old 1, new engine and it went thru, 2 advisories, the first being rust on body and the second was "vehicle is heavily undersealed"! Took it out yesterday and got it nearly vertical, ill have to get sum photos n put them on here, runs good but runs hot, temp gauge is rite up but it doesn't miss a beat, its full of coolant tho with no leaks or air locks, any ideas wot this could be, dodgy gauge, blocked heater matrix, faulty thermostat, or could it be like my mate says and just a "warm engine"?

Glad you got it on the road matey! , atleast the engines in these are not the most hardess things to remove!

i know took it out on my own with no hoist, just took alternator and manifolds off and lifted it out, had to borrow the hoist to put it back in tho, didnt think id get it on the gearbox as easy as it came off lol!

Nice one

Try using the temp sender off the original engine. Some of them have different resistances.
