hi! guys
im new to the forum
ive just bought a ford escort R reg 1.4 CL Estate
the problem i am having with it is;
the temperature gauge shots up every time i start the car, rather than moving up slowly to the middle and stay there it doesn't
can someone please advice me what i can do to fix this problem?
the car doesnt over heat, drives fine etc.. just the temperature gauge has me a bit worried

sounds like the temp sensor is done for mate,
should be no more than £20 to replace

it could also be the wiring to the sensor earthing out causing the gauge to move, so check the wiring to the sensor.
