Title: I guess thats bust..
Post by: TheBoy on 03 March 2018, 20:09:06

Just nipped down to Tiffins to pick up a takeaway, and its a bloody blizzard out there again and settling again, so much for rain!  TBE was impeccably behaved, as expected :)

Anyway, the outside temp started at 7C and rose to 10C, so I guess I need to get another.


I seem to recall they are cheap, so not worth bothering 2nd hand?

I got two of them for £5.00 I think from eBay and in a genuine Vauxhall parts bag!

when blue has done that previously, its been the cabling rather than the sensor.
Twisting wires together, and a tiny bit of insulation tape was all that had been used when changing the bumper to an irmsher one though!

IIRC, they are an arse to get to with Irmscher bumpers.

Got a standard Elite bumper in Z157 Star Silver III here - easy swap for an Irmscher bumper and easier to get to the Temp sensor  :y

Piffle...

The sensor is equally accessible from above regardless of bumper fitted... access is from behind the washer bottle ;)
