Can anyone help?

The temp gauge is a seperate unit and is fitted into the back of the speedo. The pipe from the head to the gauge is probably damaged, it's a sealed pipe filled with a type of alchohol. They tend to be broken when attempts are made to get the sender out of the head. 2 spanners are needed so the pipe doesn't twist. Repair is expensive so best to look for a another one. Working speedos easier to find and not expensive. Easier to swap than repair but they can be fixed.

Is it possible to fix the temp sender yourself as mine isn't working either.

Probably, but only if you're a "mad scientist with a lab"................
An alternate part here.

This ones electric and requires your old unit in exchange. Quite expensive but it's available and should be reliable.
