Wht oil are you running? (20w50, 10w40, 30)
Do you have an oil cooler?
Have you tried a different sending unit?

Are your oil coolers on a thermostat? in parrallel or in series . if your engine is not highly tuned it should not get up anywere near 120 in british weather, it could be the wrong grade of oil as the post above said
cheers jon

2 oilcoolers shouldnt be doing 100-120'c. I have 2 oilcoolers too, from the bas thermostat to the front oilcooler from a merc, then to a setrab cooler with twin fan and back to the engine, 90'c all day, if i push hard max 105'c. I use 20/50 oil and ambient temp at 33'c avg. 2666 T4. Pressure starts at 5bar, warms up to 2bar on idle.
