	where the fook is that wee sensor at?? am gonna go nick one

	That is 99% guaranteed to be the problem. Those sensors are notorious for failing.

	it oculd be the temp sensor itself. its just behind your front bumper. Have u had a look at that? u could try changing it and see if the fault goes away. u could even jus swap it for your mates see if that fixes the prob, then buy a new one if it does.

	my outside temp guage (i take it thats what it is on my top display- 96 corsa SRI) it keeps reading -4.5 degrees or a temp along that line when i know its not that cold. my mate has the same car and his will read like 3 degrees. just wondering what is could be causing this prob? the temp guage on my dash is fine:boggle: please help me.
