Hi all.. weird one here.
Meg's oil temp transducer got its connector broken (plastic bit came loose and so connector doesn't well - connect now!) and so the oil temp gauge stopped working. So I managed to get one from eBay but it doesn't fit! GRRR
The one on the car is YCB100350 and the new one is YCB100290. Amazingly the thread on the old one is bigger (or courser) than the new one so it doesn't fit!
I spoke to Rimmer Bros who have drawn a blank as the workshop manual shows the transducer as having two wires coming from it - yet the one I have has only one (as does the new one!)..... and they tried the YCB100290 in a new oil filter housing and sure enough it doesn't fit... HHHEEEELLLLLLPPPP
There are three different oil filter housings.MPi... i was wondering as well if it doesn't fit either housing what on earth was it for!
Rimmers currently has LPX100540 on sale for 14.95 gbp
If it's a direct replacement for the LPX head that may be one way out.

Hi Rich, That's what prompted me to start looking again at the replacement sender - just raised this can of worms. Rimmers didn't even know till yesterday there were two types of housing.... i feel a new sender coming on if I buy that housing - or maybe as David said just go to a scrappie and get all of it in one.
Get Rimmers to find the housing that fits the new sensor you already have.
