The external temperture display will show -30 when the sensor wiring is disconnected. When reconnected, a functioning sensor can take an hour to a full day to equilibrate back to true ambient reading.

Dear TC, thanks for the info. It gives me a pretty small area to search for a gubbins on a clip. Not a clue what it looks like, but it will have wires and a connector, so that should narrow it down a lot.
Interesting to hear that if the connection is not there the readout will show -30. As mine appears to think it is somewhere near Barbados, my hope it might be a cable/connector problem does look like an exercise in straw grasping.
I might try to get my wife to have a look before trying to get under the car myself though.
She can always find anything I do not want her to (no love, I bought these parts for my motorcycle years ago, before fleabay existed) so there is a chance she will respond to "if I cannot find the sensor, I will have to go on fleabay and buy one" More straw grasping. Best, Frank B
