Yes temp gauge goes straight to red. 12v was showing on cam sensor when turning the ignition to position 2. I have a Foxwell scanner. I have not scanned for codes since the fault has become permanent. I will do what you suggested tomorrow and see what comes of it. It also (not everytime though) has a gearbox overhearing warning flashing up which I hadn’t had before.
