Hi Lou....welcome to the Forum

I think the coolant sensor is the culprit....usually is when cold starts are involved

The sensor should have 2 wires going to it, if there is one with one wire it is more than likely the one for the temperature gauge.

It should be located on the end of the cylinder head with a large(ish) connector attached to it

Let us know how you get on with it
