Hi,
I have a '51 plate 1.8 Elegance, with FSH that I have just bought. On the test drive the engine coolant temperature gauge took ages to rise (common so it seems). Having had it a couple of days now, I notice that it rises then falls back to nothing, then if stationary will rise to the middle mark, then drop a bit, then drop back to almost nothing or nothing. I have read something regarding this being a known fault due to the wiring connector breaking down with vibration. Can anyone shed some light on this as I love the car and hope it's just a sensor, other than this the car runs fine, no running issues at all, starts/idles/accelerates perfectly.
cheers Pete
