the one you have brought is for the temperature guage (water temperature sensor) you need a 'coolant temperature sensor'

just bort a coolant temp sensor for my car, there only a few quid from parts shops. so no point in getting one off ebay. atleast at part shops its just down the road if its wrong or dodgey.

a will do but would that cause the car to struggle to reach 70mph???

could do, the coolant temperature sensor tells the ecu how cold the engine is, which and then amoung other things tells the idle control valve and mass air flow meter how much fuel and air to mix and how much choke and what not to apply. if your sensor is dodgey the engine could think its cold even when its hot and could possibly be getting the fuel/air mixture wrong. either way its a cheap and easy thing to do and would be one of the first things i would check of the list.
