Hi what engine you running? If its a petrol pick up is usually coil or ecu. Diesels either from alternator or ecu again if she's a bit modern!!

I've read around that thats just a Safari thing. Not sure what causes it. Mine does it as well.

On the Surf diesels the sensor is in the fuel pump I think... Not sure on the Safaris...

The pickup for a TD42 is on the front of the engine, if you look at the front of the engine it is just to the right of the water pump. Held in with two bolts.

Cheers, Jeff.
