Thermotime switch

Hi all, I wanted to fit an extra temperature gauge to my 2.8i and was thinking of using the thermotime housing which has a allen type grub screw next to the existing temperature probe, has anyone undone this screw ? as I don't want to undo it and found I've buggered the coil inside.
Many Thanks

Re: Capri 2.8i No 12v power to lights/ indicators etc.

I found the square fuse holder/relay to the rear of the engine on the bulkhead I think holds the fuses for the headlights, Its held on with self tappers I removed it, took out the old corroded fuses cleaned up the contacts and put new fuses in , worked a treat.
