could some one post a pic of what the temp sending unit looks like on a 97 disco V8? i think mine may be stuffed but want to make sure. the temp gauge is very erratic. steaming hot. then when i turn the ignition off then on it is frezzing cold.i have replaced the thermostat and done a full flush. is it the big plug that screws into the thermostat housing? or the one on the top on the manifold behind the dizzy....HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The big one with 2 wires is for the condensor fans.The guage one is the little one with 1 wire. the one with the square plug is for the injection.
