Got an outside temperature gauge to fit if I put the sensor in the engine bay along by the battery or something Will it give a good reading or will the heat from the engine affect it?

Heat would affect it why not wire it up just under the trim at the lower part of the screen

I would put it underneath where the airflow can get to it, away from any sunlight to get an accurate reading , anywhere near the bay can also give a false reading by the sun hitting the bonnet, wrap it around the arb or somewhere in the wheel arch?, its a sealed sensor so should be ok exposed to the elements

Grego, I Got it off ebay from a link on this forum but can't remember who I'll find out the item number, the other person done a nice install in the wing mirror bit technical for me though

Markyp2000 do you mean outside - just under the windscreen?
