Can anyone tell me why my computer displays all the correct imfo except the outside temp. it displays 40 degrees all the time, and I know we yorkshire folk are blessed with the weather but this is taking the piss.
How can I resolve it  |

I've never seen one of these that actually works properly. Mine Shows 122, so does Chris'. It seems the sensors all went duff quite quickly.
Temp sensor is in the bottom of the passenger side wingmirror. Dont even bother trying to get at it. |

mine does indeed show 122 most of the time, however 88 and 112 are other common temps for it to display.
Basically its fecked and a new one is 70 quid. Live with it. |

I do but it's a feckin shock when you step out of a warm car expecting 40 degrees outside and your nipples are frozen solid.

40 degrees Farenheight isnt it? not celcius.
A quick google reveals that
40 degrees Fahrenheit = 4.44444444 degrees Celsius, so could be about right? |
