Hi All
and is the replacement a DIY job.

Yes, its a diy job takes about 2 hours on a RHD vehicle, which includes serveral coffee breaks:
Tools required:
+ head screw drivers, small flat blade screw driver, mirror on a stick, kneeling pad and a torch.
1. Remove the 2 screws holding the electric window control panel and lift panel to gain access to the next screw.
2. Remove the single screw holding the gear lever panel, lift and rotate the panel as required to gain better access to remove trans side cover panel.
3. Remove the transmission tunnel side cover panel.
4. Remove the cover panel under the steering column.
5. Remove the cover panel above the foot pedals.
6. Remove the triangular air vent (just pulls off) and its mounting tube held by 2 screws.
The temp sensor is on the lower pipe, look above the foot pedals to the left follow the pipe back and you can just see the blue connector plug.
To release the clip holding the sensor look up between the heater box and the heater pipes from besides the trans tunnel use a flat blade screw driver, then pull the sensor of the pipe and remove the wiring plug.
Connect the wiring to the new sensor, place arm along the top of the foot pedals with your hand through the space uncovered by the cover above the foot pedals, your other hand goes up just in front of where the triangular vent is/was located. Fit the sensor with your right hand, now hold the sensor still with your left hand, push the retaining clip over with your right hand, the sensor can still be moved/positioned as required.
Replace cover panels.

The sensor costs about 16.00 GBP
