Does anybody know how to get my gauge repaired? Mine shows permanently max temp.

Dave

Does the needle start off cold ? Is it at cold when the ignition is off ? It could also be the sender unit, rather than the Gauge.
Worse comes to the worse, I think Canford Classics offer a gauge rebuild service....and I always hear good things about these guys:

Have you tried measuring the volts going to the gauge when the engine is off/cold v warmed up? Just incase you get back a nicely rebuilt gauge and you have another problem?

Maybe a daft solution but have you tried tapping the glass? My 914 temp gauge was sticking at the max mark and sharp tap brought it back down to zero...
