So I bought a infrared themometer. Changed the earth position on the voltage regulator. Tested both the gauge now reads 10-15 degrees warmer then the thermometer. Will speak with my auto elecy tomorrow

and get him to fit one of these :idea:

So does anyone actually have any hard evidence as to what a Mini engine should actually run at ... "normal" not racing conditions..

ie what actual water temps = "N"??

And what voltage (Mk I/12 V system) is the equivalent of a "normal (N)" and hot (H) gauge readings????

Cheers, Ian

In case it helps, the BMC engineering drawing for the Smiths temp gauge used in the MK II Series Minis (part AYA9168) says:

"52 degrees C at the Cold position and 120 degrees C at the Hot position".

It would probably be around the temperature of the standard thermostat.

So...N = about 85C

Mine runs about 82C with an 82C thermostat, needle in middle.
