Landrover ffr 90 oil temp switch?

[cossy1]

Hi a mate of mine has got a Ex MOD FFR Landrover 90 .It has the wiring fitted for the oiltemp gauge, but it has been fitted with a blank on the oil filter housing. When we went to fit a temp sender switch the tread was metric and it will not screw in to the filter housing (Landrover FFR have oil coolers fitted) any ideas.

any chance it's like older rovers? Mine has a thermometer pocket on the left side frame (11a with a capillary) on the oil cooler inlet side.

Is it a 2.5 NA Diesel? If so, you should be able to get a sender to fit. I don't think they're metric, rather BSP taper thread. I think what you need is PRC4372, but I'm not entirely sure. I have since upgraded to VDO senders and gauges as I fitted a 200TDi to mine and the old stuff would not give me a good reading.

Thanks for that i will need to check the part number on the item we have. it looks like the engine is a re-con which is fitted to FFR OR GS Landrovers when the 2.5 is nacked all the pipe work is fitted for the oil cooler and when we put the power lead to earth the gauge in the cab works ok. i will get back to you when i check the part number.
