Took new car for run to Dartmouth today, 310 mile round trip, it looks like my temp gauge needs looking at as its all over the place sometimes working but then not. Also it happened twice on Friday a quick trip to shops on the way back engine for a split second cut, then carried on no flashing light or any change in performance? Then on the way home from Dartmouth again for a split second the engine cut? Again no flashing from door light ect, and then carried on with no problems? Any ideas or is it a needle in haystack, one of a hundred problems, I just have a hunch that the temp gauge not working properly and this sudden cut in engine are related but unsure. Any ideas? pete

Its a 2.3 GLX, got tax today so its off to devon, I hope. :ph34r:

Just purchased a Galaxy mine was a rash purchase at the car auctions clean very few marks for its age and seems spot on but only driven it 20mile home from auction as no tax yet. Will give it a service (oil, coolent change ect) then off to the boat at Dartmouth this weekend (weather permitting). At the moment I have a Ford Maverick 2.7 TD swb but due to buying a caravan and when we travel (2+2) it

Thanks only a simple question and now iv looked around the site I could have found the answer, but now I know.
