Hi All.
Having a few niggles with the car and after some advice.
1. My extenal temp sensor is up the spout and is reading 30 degrees C... (I wish) :P. I think i read on here that its in the front wheel arch. just woundered if their where any more specifics to which side and roughly where? Also is it common?
2. My boot release switch in the car is not working but the light comes on when i open it with the key fob? Just woundering if this is common and likley to be a simple switch change?
3. The heater in the car seems to be alot cooler than the temp the climate is set to. woundering if this could be related to the external temp problem?
Thanks people for any help :y

1 and 3 - yes, on front bumper, middle top, change the sensor, about £6
2, try pressing and holding the switch

Yours is right in the middle of your bumper on the lower edge.

Have you pressed & held the button for 3 secs?

As you suggest, the cabin temp is influenced by th eoutside temp sensor. :y

Magic stuff. Thanks chaps. will get on the case of the sensor. and will try holding the button for longer.
very helpfull :y

but it buggers up the interior light ie it doesn't go off immediately when the ignition is switched on, you have to wait for it dim to off every time ............. & I don't even have a facelift car!! ;)

New temp sensor fitted and all is well again :)

I bet the Skyline isn't as easy to fix! :-/ ;)

It is not to bad actualy. being 16 years old it is quite basic. But everything seems to cost alot :(
i never get to use it much as its very impractical ::)
-
I can well imagine! Having said that, a mint R33 GTR will always have a place in my ultimate 10 car garage!! ;)
I have to say, I think you've got a cracker there with your Elite! Any chance I could have first refusal in the event you decide to sell her?? :y

I cant see why not :y

Good man! :y
Are you coming to the Hampshire meet this weekend?

Sadly I am busy this weekend but will come to a meet in the near future :y

As Andy B says:-
"but it buggers up the interior light ie it doesn't go off immediately when the ignition is switched on, you have to wait for it dim to off every time ............. & I don't even have a facelift car!! ;) "
Interior light is a pain, I used an old Trafficmaster switch as a by-pass, so instead of waiting for the light to go out (ten seconds) I simply stab the switch & off it goes.

ok thanks for the extra info. new plan is to leave it alone now ;D :y
-
Always a good plan... If it ain't broke... :y
I'm gonna try and get to the next Essex meet, so I might see you there! II'll be interested to see how you get on with the detailling. I started doing mine last year, just waiting for the weather to improve so I can get round the rest of the car now! :y
-
I have brought some goodies for the detail such as work lights, paint thickness gauge and generaly stocked up on lotions, potions and a nice new set of lake country pads for the porter cable. I will try and do a detailed thread on it when i start. It might take me a while as I dont have much spare time but it will keep me off the streets ;D

Sorry for the HJ!
