    Hi everyone today I managed to change the engine mounts back to the Old ones.
    Also testing the temperature gauge and as suspected it's reading very high.
    Next job will be sump gasket. Thanks for watching 🤓👍

    OK the sound on some of my videos is not the best this is because I am using a small Go pro session with built in microphone. I'm working on George the camera gets covered in dirt and oil.
    I pick it up now and then to get a quick look at what I'm doing I have watch this video on my phone and yes some times it's a bit low but can here no problem. Sorry if some are having problems but I'm not going to mess around with external microphone while working on George.
    Thanks for watching 🤓👍

    I've got a sender connected to my thermostat with a Smiths gauge and it is spot on with the reading.

      Yes things looking good just need to sort sump gasket and can put George back together. Not bothered about temperature gauge as know it's reading high.

      Hi👋I work a spit shift morning and then after noon so usually get a couple of hours but can't always as have plenty of. Other things I should be doing every time I look at George I think of something else I need to do. Hopefully you will get you car sorted soon it's definitely better now the weather has changed.

    I had similar problems with my temperature gauge using the standard temperature sensor then when I got a adapter for the sensor that came with the kit it worked perfectly the Morris standard sensor is not 12v I think it’s 8v that’s why it reads higher

    Hi have you considered it might be the sender unit inI the top of the thermostat housing may not be compatible with your guage

    • @woowoo883classiccars
      @woowoo883classiccars  Місяць тому +2

      Yes that could possibly be the case the main thing is George is not running at 120 c. To be honest I have never had a gauge in any other moggies I have owned this was in boot with other Gauges and I put them in for the look.
      I never thought he was getting that hot and not boiling over.
      But had decided to test as people were concerned that George was running very hot. I may have a different one somewhere to try.

    Do you have the temperature gauge connected through a voltage regulator? I had the same issue when I fitted a temp gauge to my minor, cured it with a voltage regulator.
