That's the fan switch for when the ignition is switched on

Cheers Andreas, now purchased from your link :)

No worries that other one looked like it had an extension wire to connect to, wierd .

Chris - looks to me like your missing the male part of the loom, not the actual temperature switch in the rad.

Do u have the connector on the loom to fit that switch ???

[Chris197F1]

Ill check tomorrow when im at the garage, his words were 'this sensor is corroded' so I asked for a picture and posted it on here. Will report back tomorrow

[16v_paddy]

Of course it's correoded as it's exposed to the elements, if the inside part of it is corroded then fair enough but the garage clearly haven't removed that sensor to show a pic of the inside so I'd be telling them not to worry about it albeit in a slightly less friendly manner

[Chris197F1]

Im down there tomorrow so Ill have a look. Hes a friend so im sure he has his reasons

[northy]

i would say its the connector thats corroded - not the switch

[Chris197F1]

Its the pin connectors on the sensor that have corroded, the loom side of things is fine :)

[northy]

in that case you are right in ordering a new switch sensor

[Chris197F1]

its the only thing holding up the MOT, after that she is good to go, woo hooooo
