Default temp gauge on my saff

my temperature gauge on my saff has started to under read.
take this points to a dodgy temp sensor?
is that the one at the bottom of the rad?
how easy is it to change and how much are they?
cheers again everyone!

the reason for the poll is that alot of people say their car is stage three but it only has greens, chip and a three bar. is that what everyone thinks is a real stage three? or is a bigger turbo etc needed?

the sender is not necessarily at fault - you could have an airlock around it
