This has been a useful piece of kit I purchased from Theresa around a year ago!
So on the way back from Carlisle with the lads this morning we suddenly lost power, exactly the same way that first happened in April on the way to Assen then again in early May. Coasted along a bit off on to the M6 slip road and just at the bottom the engine caught again as I'd hoped. Looked at the widget which said the same as the occasions before
Later, sitting in heavy traffic in Edinburgh the temperature went up higher than I expected and I couldn't hear either fan coming on.
I turned the heater full on + blower and perhaps by chance the temperature began to drop - and fast, reaching 93C from 103C in seconds - as if the fan had activated but I couldn't hear it, even with the bonnet open.
What was strange when I opened the bonnet was the lack of a big wave of heat coming from the block, quite unlike lifting it after a track session when it hits you in the face.
Is this indeed likely to be connected to the widget's warning of temp sensor failure?
Also is there any connection with the crank sensor failure? A new one was put in only in May...
Or perhaps a dodgy ground/earth nearby which is causing wrong signals to the widget?
