*bump* - any ideas at all appreciated. :)

Thanks madf, I haven't checked that yet, but I will. It sounds like a plausible culprit, but wouldn't that also affect the temp readout on the dashboard, or is that read from something else?

Cheers.

Just checked it. You're right, it's a seperate readout. With the sensor disconnected the dash display still worked, and the engine ran much better, but idled high.

On checking the resistance fo the sensor (in situ), it measured 3.9 ohms when cold (aprox 20c) and 1.9 ohms when half warm (aprox 40c), both these values are way too high according to my chart from the TOC.

I'll try a new sensor and see what happens...

Manys thanks for your advice madf. :)

I just drink from the bottle, less washing up required! :D

Cheers!
