cant quite see from that pic but is there one or 2 wires coming from the temp sensor?


also might be worth checking the wiring for it just to make sure nothings come loose.

i dont trust garages to do things which is why i decide to do all the work myself.

There are two wires coming out. I wish i had the knowlege to do it all myself mate, but im usually too scared im gonna fuck something up.
Ill have to go back to where i bought it and ask them to test if or something. :(
Hows your car going mate? Still got problems you need to fix? :)

lol yeah will do.

as for multi meter the question mark says it all lol.

if you want you can pop round mine any time and i can have a quick look at it for you. but as you say you payed someone to fit it, it might be worth just asking them to make sure they fitted it correctly.

Its very awkward to go back to them as i got discount through my mate that worked there and i had to drop the car back so many times becuase of parts that they didnt have etc... Also, my mate quit the other day so it makes it even more awkward going back...plus i got the impression from geezer that fitted it that he had enough with it lol.
It would be heavy if you could have a scan over it with me :D would be much appreciated. Can show you some new bits that the car has recieved since the last time you saw it....

can i add to this that i used a sandwich plate on my car, at the time i was changing the timing belt so the power steerin pump was off. all i done was ground down the bracket that the sandwich plate was hitting.

i will find the link to the plate i used but as stated it does need the power steering bracket adjusted to fit. not too hard tho.

ok i think i know why the temp ain't working. i'm assuming the temp is the end sensor with one wire coming out? it needs a decent ground to the sensor. the oil pressure one has it's own ground, hence the 2nd connection
