As the subject says, where abouts does the temp sender go? Also, what colour wire goes to it?

The temp sender connects directly to the back of your temperature gauge (if you have a early instrument cluster) with 10 volts via a regulator connecting to the other terminal on the gauge.

If you have a clubman it goes to the instrument panel plug at the back of the gauge cluster and onto the flexible PCB. Green/Blue is the colour of the roundnose wires connecting the gauge to the sender. I have no idea what colour the clubman type is.

Same on clubbie.

The temp sender screws into a hole in the cylinder head below the thermostat housing, just above the engine number pad. If your cylinder head does not have this hole then the sender was fitted into a special thermostat housing made for the job. You can still buy them new, Aust castings make them, available from Bursons.

Heres a pic of an old one I use when I am painting my engines...
