Hi chaps.

My brother has bought a MY00 uk classic

On buying it the guy said about the temp sensor.

The problem he has when going to start it, you have to try several times to get it going.

Any ideas on this please?

Is it when the engine is cold/hot or both mate?

To be honest i think its just when cold. Will see tomorrow whilst doing bits.

If from cold would this head towards temp sensor?

Yeah, classic symptoms of it failing. The good thing is they're not much more than £30 odd from Import Car Parts.
