I didnt see this befor it was built in 86 taken from crt website When we purchased the boat we had a prof boat builder do a fit out Then if some remember we had engine problems so we put a recon engine and gearbox in so it's a 2 1/4 landrover marinised engine We have over 30k in receipts Who ever buys this boat will realise what works been done When purchased it was striped rebuilt repainted and spotwelded to sort any pitting all electrics and insulation new So to original question we think it's a great boat

I just had the panel made and put on Ive checked the temp sender on engine is working by putting in a kettle on and temp going up Do they need to be calibrated? I just thought you had to replace

I have an old landrover engine its just had new parts fitted New water pump Alternator Starter motor New clocks (as you can see in the pic) All belts and filters It has no thermostat It does have a bowman water cooler that is raw water cooled The coolant is in and no leaks Water comming out is cold Engine although hot isnt overly hot But water temp is 115 !!! It doesnt rise any more but it is worrisome Any help would be appreciated Ps it doesnt loom like a head gasket as there is no brown stuff in head or in header tank

Got it sorted now thanks it was the gauge Tat

It only drops down if i touch wire from switch to earth Other than that nothing happens Its on constant weather there is wire on switch or not

Ok i have a 2 and a quarter landrover series 2a When i turn on ignition the oil pressure gauge goes full even without engine running When i start the engine it remains full Any ideas?
