Try pulling the plug off see if guage goes down you could have short somewhere.Have some terranos im breaking will see what they are like.Be very carefull undoing those screws they often snap off.

I think the earths for that are back in the engine bay off the loom to the engine block - but I could be wrong-just clean all of them. Theres two from the wing to the engine block (both near and under the coolant bottle) and another two small ones from the loom to the top of the block above the dip stick (think these are actually for the pedals etc)
