    Does anyone know where this sensor/module is located? The part is cheap, I
    was wondering if I might be able to do it myself.

    The interior temperature sensor is located behind a tiny grille which is
    next to the dash switches. My car is Right-hand drive, and it's on the
    left-hand side row of switches (Left of the steering wheel), along with
    heated window/mirror switch, TRACS switch e.t.c.
    The grille in question is the same size as one of these switches.
    To access it, remove the radio (push in the 2 rectangular bits at the bottom
    of the radio panel, and 2 handles will spring out, pull 'em!), then you can
    reach round the back of the sensor, and remove it. It's on a plug, and
    replacing it will be easy. 'Sup to you to decide if that's the cause of the
    fault though.
    If your internal temp readout has broken, this sensor is completely
    different, and the sensor for this is located on the lower-front bumper
    (front spoiler if you like), fairly close to where front foglights are
    mounted. It's a 2-wire device, but no plug nearby. You can cut & join the
    wires as long as you cover the joint in adhesive-lined heatshrink or similar
    when you've finished.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers for now.
