any ideas as to where  i can get a new sensor and how much these cost? is it an easy job to change

thanks

ok located the wire but seems to be ok put the ignition on water temp 18 played with the wire temp didnt move so a dont know what to do next

Cheers
al get a look at that after my coffee, hope its obvious that its busted or loose cause a dont like taken the car out in case a cant get it home,
do you think the pfc has something built in to stop it from running if the temps too low?
has to be something to do with the sensor a think,

thanks anyway al keep update\'n

if this is true i may have disturbed this while removing the plugs which i did several times anyone direct me to it so am not buggering any thing else, sure someone told me the temp sensor was there when i first bought the car,

anyone help Please

checked the temp sendor plug and it all looks ok, just had the car out today for a few hours then temp started droping car missfires badly backfireing until it cuts out temp settled at -2 played with the wire but still same temp, after ingnition on off a few times temp was back up and it started got it home and it cuts out in the garage as the temp starts droping again, starting to think it needs scraped,:(

did the same last night was sitting in a cue water temp started dropping then it started backfireing and cut out , had to keep trying the ignition till the water temp went back to normal 76 from -10, dont think it would start if i try it when its in the -,

must be electrical but dont know where to start

since getting the car started after flooding it was running fine till it cut out as this happend i was sitting watching the pfc comander and the water temp started droping from 74 all the way to -16, found this strange because when it was flooded i remember the water temp always counting down to -36 when trying to start it something not right there anyone experianced this before think it may be a duff sensor but dont know where to look,

thanks for the help guys, a dont get on hear often now but its good to know everyones happy to help,

car started today as normal after fitting 4 new plugs i had left the old ones out for 2 days, needed a new battery 4 year warranty on the halfords calcium come in handy, had nacked a cell, was only fitted in march,

anyway am glad she goes again,  

sounds like good news then im gona order 4 new plugs the now just to be safe then i will try it again, hope she goes, did try the heating the plugs before was like it wanted to go but didnt, feard the worst its been like this 2 weeks now,

thanks again guys

thanks I will try this tomorrow night, should it go just like that!! only drove it out the garage up the drive let it idle then switched it off?

story so far

drove the car out the garage waited till temp was up turned it off, washed and polished, went out 3 hours later wouldnt start (flooded) :xconfused

went through the de-flood started but wouldnt rev really really rough and died,

left it a day same again, tryed again wouldnt start, put in the garage changed 2 plugs (all i had 9s) old ones were ok though, tryed oil in the holes still no go, had the plugs in and out at least 10 times over a couple of days, tryed towing still not start! given up now
after trying to start it ive noticed under the turbo pack area is a little petrol on the ground not sure where its comen from any ideas surely this isnt the reason why its no going  :xconfused

i had been thinken it may have been the petrol at fault got half a tank optimax, the garage i started using keeps running out of it and they only had 1 pump when i last bought it, wonderd if it could be the fuel

car always starts of the button even when warm, started fine when i pulled it out to wash it, any ideas anyone Please

where did you get the 9mm hoses that go from the filler cap to the ast water tank ? i used ones i got as a kit from ebay and they werent proper coolant hoses, when the get hot the go really soft and i sprung a leak at the ast, just something worth keeping an eye on, last thing you want is to loose a hose while out driving anyways its looking good,

yip i did the same endend up putting the old hose back on, i found that out the hard way,  that hose gets a lot of heat and mines was badly cracked so got another one from a breakers yard and covered it in foil, just an idea

looks fantastic mate, nice one

took car out today and all seems to be ok regarding the above, strange but i think i will put it down to something getting wet unless it happens again,
only need to get my boost sorted now still getting the honking noise and poor 2nd turbo at 0.5 at best, ive checked as much as i can and it will now be left for pip to fix as soon as i get some spare cash,

cheers
