OK lets see if we can narrow things down a bit from "buggered".
Can I recalibrate it or does it need changing. Where do I find the offending part ?

Sorry, it was not a lot of help was it 
Many years back when I had my first Cossie the ice warning light appeared not to work so I found the sensor and placed it inside a bag of frozen peas!!
It worked but the calibration was obviously all to ****.

OK so I found the sensor and removed the connector block and cleaned the connections and replaced it.
It's -1 outside ans it's still reading 45 degrees I did check what it read when disconnected and it read ----C, replaced it and it went back to 45 degrees.
I suppose it's a case of sourcing a replacement.
any idea's ?

It's located just under the number plate in the air intake on the right. A little black box with a dimple on it. I had it delivered next day for £10.
