Evening all,

I'm trying to locate a source for the above sensor. One of the usual suspects wants circa 27 quid by the time they've charged me £7.95 for postage!!!!!!

Any suggestions?

Ta

I am fairly confident that a faulty temp sensor contributed to my problems last year, culminating in head gasket failure, so I would highly recommend fitting a high quality sensor.

Indeed but they want 7.95 for postage to which they also add VAT hence the 27quid. P&P far too pricy for an item that small.

Do they not modify the postage cost for small items once the order is placed?

I could be wrong but I'm guessing is the correct one - Bosch 0 280 130 026 - £10 inc

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111310893053

Here's some useful info too

I'll see if mine has a part number. Have one to be fitted when I start taking my rack out this week.

Haha, apologies! Ah well, look on the bright side - I'm sure it'll fail again sometime, and then you can take advantage of the discounted one laugh
