In praise of GoMog!!
I found that whilst my temp gauge worked the sender unit in the radiator is of a later type and works the other way around to the original so I followed the advice offered on GoMog and purchased a cheap gauge from ebay (£4) of the right type and today transfered the new workings to the old gauge, using original needle, so it looks the same as the original from the outside apart from showing cold with the ign off - original shows hot and then goes to cold when the ign is on.
Very pleased with the result, thanks all, Bill
