Help! Temperature Sensor - The Blue One!!

Post by bazzam111 » Fri Apr 04, 2008 2:25 pm

I've had a long term 'glitch' with my Stack temperature read out flutuating which was narrowed down to the 'blue' sender thanks to the 'boys' on this forum :thumbsup
I am now losing coolant either from the rad, heater matrix or the the top hose return connection since the drip under the car is coming from that corner on the front drivers side but it only seems to lose water when it is cold not hot :shock:
Whilst I am 'in amongst it' fixing the leak (and now being absolutlely paranoid about HGF) I want to make sure that I now have an accurate tempertaure display so I am after a new 'blue' sensor so I can get in and fix it.
My local Unipart dealer here in Aberdeen cannot get me one and or even given me a date when he thinks he can get one :shock:
So the plea for help is for a little blue jobby, any helpers??? :cheers

Many thanks for the offers guys but took Steve's advice and bought a new one from Elise parts
(Doh! Why didn't I think of that :shock: )
I had heard some dodgy reports about fitting used ones to decided to go for a nice bright shiny new one.
Still can't find me water leak though :scratch
:cheers

I'd clean forgotten what twisted minds the members of this forum have..... :drink
Now come to think of it, if we all drive Elise's then we MUST have a sense of humour.... :drive
