i have just done a major overhaul on my car but now have noticed that one little wire which connects to the cylinder head is broken (cut). its a thin wire with the same connector as the oil pressure switch, i think its for the water temperature. anyway the actual connector has broken off and i dont have it does anyone know what i should do as i went to ford and they said they dont sell it.

any advice would be much apprerciated

Best way mate is just to go to a breakers and cut a new plug off and solder and heat shrink it onto the loom

Of you may find a crimp on connector that fits?

gambit

thanks again for your help mate, so will any connector that can crimp on to it DO???? i dont really fancy going out searching at the breakers

SafeChav

If it fits over it will work, simple as, you will probably find a Blue female bullet connector will be about right

isn't the lug it sits on threaded anyway? in which case a nut on it would do.

gambit

that is correct so i am going to use a washer type connector that you would find on some earth straps and use a nut on it. shouldnt be a problem its just i though you may be able to buy the actual connector from somewhere, but obviously not
