i brought one, works ok, and good readings, but i found with my one, the sensor at the end broke and started to come away from the wire.
I have one of the £50 ones that some of the top turners sell, but the back lite display went on that.
like what has been said above, maplins do a cheap one that works well, but no back light display

it was a few months, i had it going into my intercooler pipe just before it went into the TB, what i think that caused it was the boost (1.5 bar) moving past it all the time, so it was moving back and forth,
i should think if it was more held down, it will be ok
i have got the green one in mine

Got one in mine, reads O.K above 5 degrees, below that generally reads "Lo", as I have FMIC I don't see anything except "Lo" TBH. Gonna spend a bit more and get the one in this guide:
http://www.fastfordmag.co.uk/resourc...AF238.tool.pdf
from:
R&B Motorsport.co.uk | Suppliers of everything you need for your trackday or fast road Ford RS vehicle.
Then get my IC pipe tapped to take it as I am sure it is just because it flaps like DaOne mentioned that is is not reading right and the one above looks far more substantial.
When working they are really useful!

I have a FMIC would need it to measure nice and low, the ebay add says it will measure down to -40, is it possible this is not the same one you bought?

I'm not so sure mine is installed in the right place, i just gave it to a garage to fit.
It's usually about 20 degrees over the ambient temp. The more you boot it, the colder it gets, but a few junctions or idling and it can go to 70+ and stops reading at 70 with ---- displayed.
