Think both below in pictures are sender off my series2 engine, should the one i called a water temp sender have some type of connection off it for a spade plug to 'send' and if so can it be repaired or should I replace it aftermarket?



Water temperature sender?




Oil Level Sender?

 

Temp sender for series 2.

$18.50. VDO brand,part #TT5029 from Repco.

I would replace it.

Second pic is the sender for oil pressure.

 

Do you have the Jaguar shop manual or the DVD you can buy ???
Would help you a lot. the way you are going about it /questions being asked, tells me you have very little knowledge of auto repair in general.

The shop manual would be a great investment .

 

Yes a manual would be a great investment, but this is a guy having a go.
There is no such thing as a stupid question.

Maybe a manual isn't in the budget for everyone, but an easily accessible forum is if you already paid for your internet. I know I have owned vehicles in the past and not had the coin to buy a manual.

We are all here to keep these girls on the road, and that is what these forums are all about isn't it?

 

I did not say it was a stupid question ,..(you did.) its just plain obvious that if you can not figure out some of the simpler stuff ...maybe some research (found online or in a manual) then it is obvious the problem is not whether one "should have a go" but rather one might consider getting a better understanding of the the principles/systems in general ....then " have a go". Manuals (physical and online and in a library) are great. If a person does not have funds for a manual ,, then repairing a Jaguar can be a challenge. Sort of a cart in front of the horse deal. My 2 Cents

 

yep, my bad. That is just the way read it.

 

have a few manuals, I usually find it more interactive and friendlier to second check things on a forum so as to avoid stupid misreadings of diagrams or such by conferring with experts even if I am sure I am on the right track. at times things that appear obvious can result from a misinterpretation.

 

I've got a "Haynes" manual and find it pretty much useless. So much so that I often check the cover to make sure I got the correct manual out of my book shelf.
Mind you a lot of that could possibly be due to the idiot reading it
Having access to a forum with such knowledgeable people is a godsend!

Agree with most of the above. One can "have a go" and throw parts at a car and possibly fix it. Or invest the parts money and read. More than once may be needed. And, the forum sure can help if stumped, but
the help is more benficial if one has boned up first!!!


In my lumping process, I was having trouble with illustration and wires of the coil and module on the LT1 engine. Another lumper doing a similar install was also "stumped". Either he or I discovered the illustration was "upside down"! Flipped the page and it matched the on car and became clear!!!!


I noted that page with a pen.


The S57 Jaguar Electrical Schematic has been of immense help over the years.


When something doesn't work, the issue needs "thinking out".
One of my lawyer friends taught me that. What is the function? How is it accomplished. Thusly, what failed.


In this case, sensors or "senders" are variable resistors. They respond to pressure or temperature. the complete the ground leg
of the guage circuit, and voltage moves the needle.


They can be bench tested, but, repair is rarely feasible or practical.


I did have issues with the OP sensor in my car. Fixed with a NOS
unit from lister, David Boger. They are a tad sluggish by nature, but
mine does it's job, just fine, now...

The first picture is the trigger sender for the oil pressure light. Second picture is for the oil pressure dial. Both are located low in the block, water temperature is measured higher. Pretty sure water temp sender is in the inlet manifold.

 

thanks XJeej, still the oil pressure light sender lacks a wire connector in picture, right?
yes, both low on block.
water temp one might to see if hidden away, it was more the lack of a wire connector or a wire to the first item that i was considering.
