alrite mate, i thought just the same thing when I had mine!!!
turned out...its working perfectly, if not more perfectly than ever, all it is is the fan is dam efficient on the corsas
so it is always at low temps - and looking like it aint workin

when you checked the wiring? did you check its connected at the sensor?on the 8v models the sensor that controls the gauge is screwed into one side of the inlet manifold facing up, theres a spade connector that pushes onto the top on it... could have pinged off? if not the sensor is easily changed for about a 5er

i changed the sensor and connected all up and it still didnt work, bought a second hand set of sri clocks for it with a working temp gauge and still luck.
Any ideas?

Hi, seen the notes on this and having the same problem, I plan to change the voltage stabilizer next as I noticed the fuel gauge is also a bit erratic.
Do you know what the temp gauge should read normally once warmed up on 1.2 8v ?
