What's your guess on their price? Looking at eBay, which I consider the cheapest option, a new genuine sender unit will set you back about 140 for the 4.2 engine. Cheaper for the 3l. I'd hate to imagine what nissan will ask...

Yes, it's definitely a shop around part, try Bursons in Nambour.

the sender...cap was on tight, was quite dirty plus dry and brittle
finally got the s0n-of-a-biscuit last night. Then wasn't sure to which contact the yellow wire or black wire went, so took a (hopefully) lucky guess and soldered them back on.
Gregory's manuals are the most hopeless thing I've ever read with these vehicles - they assume you know where everything is and that you know what you're doing - and have so many innaccurate photos and incorrect 'suggestions', I now know why they are shrink wrapped so you can't look at them before purchase
Bugger. Did you end up guessing correctly? How did you end up getting it off in the end?
So true, I also bought a Haines because of the limited info.
Not sure yet if I guessed correctly. I took the radiator out and flushed everything (removed engine block plug also), and found that I had additional space to have another go (removed all the hoses and took off as much wiring as I could that was also in the way). Lots of 'freeze and release, a g-clamp and some movement to-and-fro, then the correct size spanner on the nut (lucky guess) and it slowly shifted. I couldn't believe it. I was minutes away from posting on here that it couldn't be done and whoever said it could were liars (joking). But having as much room as possible definitely helps...
I wanted a Haines, but was told that Haines had bought Gregory's (or vice-versa) and they were the same now. I managed to get a few additional manuals online, but I prefer having clear images and words in front of me while I'm working.
By the way, I have an old hardcover Gregory's manual for my xc falcon (came with the car when I bought it early 90's), and it is so detailed and accurate, I haven't got a bad word to say about it. Guess they lost their way...
