help needed - temp gauge sender.

[tim_138]

Thank you to everyone for your input. I found that VDO don't make part number 320.003 anymore, and apparently haven't done so since 2008. However, I was lucky enough to find an old stock one at Rare Spares. It had been there a looong time and the part number was correct even though it was labelled as a "temp warning light sender for XK -XC Falcon". I insisted on buying it even though the dude at RS insisted that it was wrong and was never going to work my gauge. Of course my temp gauge now works perfectly. Thanks to you guys for the correct info I needed to make an informed choice.

Some good info provided here. I also could use some help as I have a similar issue. I have a HQ & the temp indicator hardly moves also. I have tested the indicator with a decade box & is fine, it has a new thermostat fitted. So now I'm thinking the sender, after all the previous info provided by you all. Any chance of anyone knowing the P/n of the 74 HQ GTS temp sender. That way I can check if mine is correct. Thanks all.
