Yes, they are different, but can be swapped.
March ECU will fit, because i tested a european ECU on my March and it worked, so the inverse would work too i think. But the problem is on the cluster, has different reading because of different sensors on the engine.

Just dont know if bouth sensors needs to be changed.i think just that one with one wire. Do i have to change thermostat? I was checking it, it opens in hot water.

I think that you just need to change the gauge sensor (one wire). You can change the thermostat just to be sure...

So... some job done. changed that 1 pin sensor, put new thermostat , adjust chain as frank gave picture. Car works sweet. No overheating now. I think that headgasket change were big mistake :down: , which led to huge time waste, and around 100 GBP money wise. that 1 pin sensor cost around 5 quid.
