are you saying its reading hot while the engines off??????

Im assuming youve checked all connections again? I think theres a mutlimeter test you can do with them in the haynes manual, i can have a look if you dont have one?

Looks like your picking up a live (+) from somewhere, not even a failed sender would send the needle past the H or in the RED.

It could be a crappy earth connection

Give all the connectors and the looms a tug and see if you can reproduce it.

Maybe yours is stuck on back to front so the H is where the C should be.

Or does "H" stand for "cold" in Glengormley?
