Temperature gauge not working

Hi people,

My temperature gauge isn't working, not seen it move once. Any ideas how easy this would be to fix/test?

Would a novice be able to do it? Or should i just get a garage to do it? How much should this cost?

Thanks for any advice you can give,

Cheers

baggy

could be a loose connection, if you know where the sensor is in the bay you can find out if it's the sensor by touching the wire to the engine (ground) with the ignition on for a few seconds and look at the dial, then needle should have moved (have to hold for a few seconds as it moves slowly)
