And then all of a sudden it severley overheats and goes straight to the 12 o'clock. It seems to skip 10 and 11 completely. Wish my watch would do that at work sometimes.

I've recently had something similar.

Bought this from Matt @ DMGRS:

The most difficult bit was splitting the metal band from near to the engine. I used a Dremel type tool - slowly and gently.

Now working fine. Temp is steady at 88 degrees (from the on board diagnostics) and the temp gauge sits steadily at 9 o'clock.

Good Luck with yours.

Andy.
