I have had no temperature reading for a while now I replaced the temp gauge that screws into the block under the inlet manifold and this made no difference, still no reading!

Could the problem be the thermostat?

Disconnect the blue wire that goes to the temperature sender, turn the ignition to II then uses a multimeter to measure the voltage on the blue wire. This should be +12v. If it is then hold this wire to earth and the temp guage should go into the red, this means your temp sender is dodgy (or you have no water in). If the +12v is not present then you either have a fault with your clocks or wiring between your clocks.

Good luck
