My temperature gauge is stuck at the top but the car is still runnig ok.
I have checked all the fuses and they are fine.
Would you be able to tell me what else it could be.
Thanks.

Could be the engine coolant temperature sensor, engine temperature gauge switch or the gauge itself or a wiring problem-
