Re: Temp Gauge
replacement sensors can be purchased from camskill, I think they cost £12 plus delivery, just double check you order the temperature sensor for the gauge and not ecu :thumleft: There is only one thermostat on the MR2, I am unsure which sensor you mean..But that sensor is the only sensor that can eff...
