You will know what the actual temp is then, even with no electrics

mm looks nice not cheap though

Has the gauge been wired with a direct 12volt supply instead of going through the voltage stabiliser? 

[Spider]

Just to check there isn't a short somewhere, if you disconnect the wire from the sender, does it still read anything?

I had the same problems a few times.

Fit a capillary-type gauge and remove the problem.

The Stewart-Warner one from Mini Spares looks a good price and their stuff is usually fine.
