If its not the temp sensor then it must be either the meter in the dashboard or the wiring.
Don't change the thermostat, it has nothing to do with it.
Make sure there is water in the pipe behind the temperature sensor (not steam!). You can do this by letting the engine warm up. The pipe should get hot.
Be careful. You want to know the temperature of Rover k-series engines.
Good luck.

a question on the threshold of my heart good now. I easily have an identical project on an Audi A6. Does your automobile take a little time to get to temperature in accordance on your temp gauge? If it does i might have suggested the thermostat. different issues to purpose. As reported above examine the radiator pipes to verify in the event that they're warm while the automobile is at temperature. If a million isn't then it ought to show a blockage or an air lock on the device. you may desire to do an entire engine flush would be desires a suitable flushing agent. What the audis be bothered by in the event that they have a forged head is corrosion interior the crank case which might pass away debris on your develop bottle in case you have one. the only thank you to get rid of it is to flush plenty with a definite fluid. If the priority isn't because of the bypass of coolant throughout the time of the cooling device then it ought to maximum in all probability be a radiator fan. Is your fan on each and all of the time? If its a viscous coupling fan pushed from the fan belt it is meant to function each and all of the time. relatively the only issues that ought to reason are the two interrupted bypass of coolant and over cooling ie radiator fan. you need to purpose the thermostat in case you probably did the artwork your self. purely drop it in some boiled warm water and notice if the thermostat opens completely. enable the water to chill out an see while the thermostat starts remaining after which while it is completely closed. For my audi the thermostat starts to open at approximately 87oC and is completely open at 102oC. Your thermostat would be diverse and would open and close at diverse temperatures. I nevertheless have the priority on mine i replaced the thermostat, waterpump, temperature sensor (Switches on the elctric fan) and my next direction is an engine flush which I easily have ordered from audi which isn't stocked using shelf existence yet with a bit of luck that ought to repair me up.

If you earthed the wire on that vehicle, you probably blew the gauge. Someone with a voltmeter who knows what he's doing needs to troubleshoot the circuit, and you need to quit listening to nitwits with troubleshooting techniques they learned in bars.

Some vehicles have two temperature sensors. If you replaced one, you may want to try replacing the other one...did you check the fuses?
Good luck!
