Wow! Unbelievable.
You sure the temp gauge and sensors are a match and functioning correctly?
Hahaha, temp is reading correctly,it is running my pinto temp sender. Temps were confirmed through Haltech data showing actual temp,and yes Haltech is correctly calibrated for apropriate Bosch sensor used. I also checked it with an IR temp gun.
I managed to get a few things done in regards to preping the car for Regency.
I now have factory speedo working with Sr gearbox, although showing slightly higher (Adr requires it to be within 10%), it is in spec as far as complying with ADR is concerned. I have a few ways of getting it spot on but for now its all good.
I fitted sealed and externaly vented battery box, and also upgraded fuel system mounting bolts to a specific high tensile grade to keep engineer happy.
After fitting a 0.7 rear master cyl, brake bias is now spot on and ready for the Brake test.
To retain the surge tank, pumps,fuel hoses etc in the boot it all has to be contained within a sealed vapour proof compartment that is externally vented.

So I am looking into that at the moment, I'll probably go with a simple ally box with a bolt on top or front to allow for inspection/maintenance, and an extra bulkhead fitting acting as a external vent. Although a bit of a pain having to organise this vapour proof box, its probably a good thing should there ever be a fuel leak. It will however make my "fancy"low permeation fuel hoses obsolete.
