Honestly no idea, or more to the point; don’t know where that is lolThat’s the thing above the coolant flange, with the rubber cover and wire coming from it. Pull back the cover you’ll see and electrical connection. The switch has a nut shaped base. It’s basically a bolt with a sensor in it. 1 Likes

Re: Smoking engine Reply #18 – January 15, 2022, 10:04:06 AM Having another look at it today.Coolant flange fitted no more leaks.Engine turns over, no smoke (yet) but battery needs a good charge, as not firing the engine.I’ll try and get a picture today, as the fuel filter doesn’t look like it’s filling! So, battery will be charged today fully, then we can see what’s what.Thanks to Mk2 Spares for getting the parts here so quickly.
