hi, disconnect the temperture sensor on the engine and earth out the wire, turn the ignition on and the gauge should go to hot position. if it does then its the sensor thats knackered. if it doesn't its either an open circuit wire between the sensor and the gauge, a bad connection on the dashboard, try giving it a wiggle, or the gauge.
if your fuel gauge works can't be problem with feed as uses same feed.
hope this helps.
