Don\'t quote me on this one Andy but if the rear housing/plates are similar to the Cosmo one just slightly above where you circled there\'s a water temp sensor. It could well just be a case of removing wrapping the threads with ptfe tape and refitting. One of the FD boys should be able to tell you if the 13brew has a water temp sensor there.

If its on the right of the engine bay take the elbow off and have a look at the coolant lines going into the back of the throttle body. Could be a bad pipe on these Theres a small 90deg hose at the bottom going up toward the throttle body !

Just a thought ???
