its the air temp sensor that runs the temp on the mfd,
it should be clipped to the front panel just behind the bumper

Nope not yet as I didnt know what it was for definate till today.
My mate has also had 3 corsas 2 L reg's and a R reg. Both L reg's had the temp display on his dash and never worked.
Could it be just a simple matter of replacing it? If so how much are they roughly?

thats a mfd temp gauge it should not have anything to do with the engine temperature gauge or head gaskets blowing !

ah right, i must be thinking about another temp sensor then. and yes the temp sensor caused my head gasket to blow as the engine ran up to 100 degrees a lot of the time and was not coming up on the gauge

That's why you've got --.-c I bet.
Just pinch a new sensor from a scrappy. Easy Fix!
