The first thing they teach you when you take flying lessons is always trust the instruments and not your instincts.  :y

Not sure what happens when you have two sets of instruments showing different things though...  :o I guess you crash?  ;D

This is for AA:

sunroof [san-røøph]
noun
 
rectangular-shaped hole in the roof of some posh cars covered by a glass windows to allow the sun in
 
 
[Mid-19th century. Probably from Latin sanus roofus as found on ancient Centurions' carriages]

The figure that the engine management reckons the coolant temp is, or what the dash gauge reads?

Believe the one that suits  :y

Whats the difference between them then?

If the EM reckons the coolant temp is -20C and you can burn yourself on the engine.....then it lies....it also lies if the engine is stone cold and EM reckons its 1000C   ;D

Ok seen your other thread and personally would believe the EM temp.

Heres a stab in the dark......does the tractor have a aux cabin heater?? normal on some diesels...
Coz i believe how these work is to heat up the coolant thereby heating up the interior faster.
Just wondering if its fubared and continually heating the coolant.....may explain the too hot temp of the coolant  :-/
