the sensor may have gone, its mounted right at the front of the car just behind the bumper. Have a look at that and see if it looks dodgy, and u could try replacing it should think it'll be that

other reason may be the MFD - when i replaced the bulbs of my MFD it sometimes show - -- and sometimes the right temp. so it was the connector for the mfd itself. you have to take out the mfd and resolder the connector inside the mfd

yep very common problem with the MFD, the pins get loose because its not designed to be diconnected and connected again and again and so it needs resoldeiring back onto the circuit board, tricky job but not too hard
