Are you sure the sensor is broken? The wire runs next to the exhaust manifold and is therefore prone to breaking.

100%, i earthed the wire and the dash display measured full

Most motor factors should be able to get you one, I think they are about £10 but can't remember for sure. Failing that either a scrapyard or Pug.

I'm sure I have a spare. £5 sent.

They should be yes. Off topic but Dr Sarty if you do have one spare I will take it

Just be aware that the early and later sumps have a different thread size. Not sure when the changover was, maybe 92-93.

ok, it should be ok because one car is a 1990 and the other is a 1992 i think!
