  Sensor selection is a matter of personal prefrence as various temperature setings (marked on unit) are available, The best advice I can give you is to try a common type from breakers and work from there.
  
  I know Fiesta T stat housings have been used on Heralds this is threaded for sensor and may save you from messing with the rad.

    Hi Laurence,
    
    Thanks for the advice. I will try a Fiesta sensor but I'm not sure if I have enough clearance under the bonnet.

      I sort of suspected a clearance issue "Just a thought"
      
      One more idea again to save messing with the rad. A sensor can be fitted into a joiner pipe this is a section of metal pipe fitted into the bottom rad hose with sensor boss welded into it, this can either be frabricated up or bought.
      
      I think Demon Tweeks sell them.

        Laurence,
        Thanks i will give Demon Tweeks a call.
        Do you have any thoughts on the extra feed pipe that can be fitted oil pressure switch outlet and then up to the rocker shaft to give a better oil supply to them.
