Coolant Temp Sensor.
Give it a thrashing before you take it and make sure they get straight onto the emissions before anything else.

There only cheap. About a tenner from Vaux. They seem to do the trick most of the time.

Nope. Take plug off, unscrew, fit new one. Make sure no airlocks in coolant and see how that does.
