 :-/Hi guys the outside tempture sensor is going nuts on my mv6 its showing its -5 when it clearly not it does come up but very slowly then never shows the correct tempture any idears. Also the check oil level warning keeps coming on mostly when crusing at motorway speeds I have checked the level and its fine just under full ?

temp sensor probably had it. Fairly cheap.

If oil warning on mid, this can happen if oil is halfway between min and max, or lower. Failing that, probably sticking sensor
