sources, free from warm air, clear of the road and in the shade. My car
doesn't have a thermometer and I was thinking of adding one of those digital
ones with a probe on the end of a wire. Anyone tried this with any success?

I too have fitted one of the Maplin ones, with the sensor behind the
front bumper. It seems to be reasonably accurate on the move or in the
shade when the engine is cold, but warms up quite rapidly when standing
in traffic.

I have a Radio Shack thermo which gives changes at 0.1 deg C intervals,
extremely accurate tied to the wing mirror of my Fiesta, but suffers in direct
sunlight of course.

My Astra has a factory fitted one with a resolution of 0.5 deg C, that too is
very accurate (measured against screen and AWS). I have no idea where that is
mounted but it works in all weathers, a little snow symbol even lights up when
it falls to 2 deg C which is fun in winter!

Will.
