Could someone please confirm whether this is the correct sensor for the dashboard temp gauge?

If so, the gauge does not appear to work after doing the 'diagnostic' test of bridging the two wires which I believe should send the gauge up to the max indicator.

What car is it?
Looks like you've got the engine temp sender there which is for the signal to the ecu for fuelling.
You should be looking for a sender with a single pin on it for the temp guage.
 
I think neo is correct, that is the temperature sender for the ecu. If it's the same as the zetec engine, the gauge sender is located beneath the larger of the two hoses at the 6 o'clock point of your yellow circle & has only a single wire.

Hope this helps.

I have now found the right sensor. I know now that the gauge does work, and that its the sensor thats doesn't seem to be registering! Will pop in to see the local mechanic this weekend.

Cheers
