Coolant Temperature Sender is a thermistor-type sensor threaded into the engine coolant circuit that produces a varying electrical resistance in response to coolant temperature changes, driving the dashboard temperature gauge.

Fitted to the 2.25 Petrol 4-Cylinder and 2.6 Petrol 6-Cylinder engines, the sender is located in the cylinder head or water jacket and provides the primary temperature signal to the instrument panel gauge.

Frequently asked questions

What does the coolant temperature sender do?
The coolant temperature sender is a thermistor that changes resistance with coolant temperature and drives the dashboard temperature gauge. Fitted to the 2.25 petrol four cylinder and 2.6 petrol six cylinder engines, it screws into the cylinder head or water jacket and feeds the instrument panel gauge.
What are the signs of a faulty coolant temperature sender?
A faulty coolant temperature sender typically shows as a gauge that reads full cold, pegged hot, or swings erratically. Since it only drives the gauge, it won't affect running, but a wrong reading can hide genuine overheating. Check the sender and its wiring before assuming a cooling fault.
Which Land Rovers does this temperature sender fit?
This Lucas coolant temperature sender suits the 2.25 petrol four cylinder and 2.6 petrol six cylinder engines used in Land Rover Series II, IIA and III. Cross-references include 555843 and GTR111. Confirm your gauge type and thread against the original, since sender calibration must match the gauge.
