Are you sure you replaced the right one, as there are three in the same area.

You want the one below the t-stat not the ones above it.

Also mate, just check the earth wires as over years can get dirty and be less efective!

If its a single wire sensor touch it right to earth, if its 2 wires put them together.
The guage should read top.
Hope that helps Smile
