Those of you who have
run the wire to the front bumper, how have you routed/secured the wire so
that it stays clear of moving or melty bits of the engine?

Silly answer, but made sure it was clear of moving or melty bits of
the engine. The ones that I've used from Maplin, which seem to be no
longer available, always had ample lead length so that it was fairly
easy to route the cable close to the bodywork looping it around useful
brackets and things to secure it. As I said in an earlier post, the
problem in modern cars is gaining access to the engine compartment
from the passenger compartment. Some years ago it was possible to find
where the main cable harness went through the front bulkhead and to
force the sensor through the same route. Nowadays there seems to be
more trim and use of multiway connectors which prevent that approach.
I bought my #2 son a thermometer for Christmas and, so far, he hasn't
been able to install it.
