Just got car..seems to be a brass thermostat plug at the end of some wires ond looks as tho it needs to be screwed in somewhere on the engine block but looks to have been taped back...There is a socket nearby that it looks as tho it needs to have something screwed in it but slightly smaller size... sorry not very technical..do not get my head under the bonnet that much...

hi mate
hope you haven't bought a hornets nest of problems.armed with your vague description, i will try & help. the brass looking thingame, sounds very much to me like a temp sender unit, hhich should be screwed into the cyl head in very close proximity to the thermostat housing or actually into the housing itself. ( is the temp gauge working ? ) as for the other part, floating around, description too vague i'm afraid mate. just wait & see if any other members can throw any light on it.back to my first annaylisis, if it is temp sender & gauge not working, be very aware of overheating problems. if it does start to overheat badly whilst driving, the first signs you get are the engine starts pinking ( sounds like lots of rattling tin cans when you try to accelerate, accompanied with significant loss of power )if this starts happening, pull over safely & asap as if you continue you risk siezing the engine,in one word EXPENSIVE.let me know how you get on & best of luck. regards dj dave.
