Temp Gauge was working fine then nothing.
Gauge works by shorting.
Replaced sender and gauge rose to between nil and quarter (previous normal was half) when at full operating temp.
Filled expansion tank to max and have been running with gauge getting to half way to quarter for 3 weeks. No problem.
Yesterday on a long high speed run, gauge fell to nothing again. No problems and expansion tank still full.

Am now at a loss as to what to do.
