Can confirm later TFs did not have engine bay temp probe! The (coolant) temperature probes - plural, are on a hose outlet housing on the front face of the engine block. yes, the difficult side to reach - engine bay cover off and all that involves. One sensor uses one wire and is the instrumentation ...

There are a few items that are a constant draw on the battery - not normally enormous, but add up in time - clock, fuel gauge, radio (standby/memory), alarm/BCU as you'll see a number of items like interior lights operate without needing key in the ignition.

If a sensor puts out a reading that is in range/valid and nothing else contradicts it then wouldn't be considered faulty by the system - in this case it would consider you had the throttle operated

Do you have a brake dragging at all? My AP four-pots developed the corrosion build-up behind the pad 'skids' causing the pads to bind in position more on one side than the other - sorted now.

I changed the back box as I thought it should have failed the MOT with that much corrosion and the strap failing, and all was definitely original as the nuts were terminally...

Sounds like bomb defusing eh! Depending on what you've got and the stereo unit concerned, one colour blue can be to sub activation, but also another for a powered aerial. This goes from low volts when unit it off to high volts, as a trigger to the device, but NOT a power feed, I was sorting my Uncle...

As part of a refresh for my TF160 when I bought it, it sounded rather gutless - found a blue parrot bluetooth phone add-in to be a horrible scramble of cabling interrupting the radio loom - removed and a bit better, then looked at the speakers - standard fair are best fitted to the bin; replaced wit...

Yes, single wire blue plug and makes earth connection through the engine. ECU temp is 2-wire brown plug, both off the same housing. Plugs are referred to as Junior Power Timer, however, the ECU plug is special with an offset keyway that is hard to source. Had a similar issue on my '04 reg 160 after ...
