    Inlet air temp - I put mine in the boost pipe just before the throttle body. Scoff prefers to put them in the air filter hose, as he knows more about this stuff it may be the better way.

    Coolant temp - opposite end to the water pump there is a blanking plate, remove that, drill hole and thread it.

    As for the plugs, either breakers yard Or Scoff efiparts sells them new

    I'm looking to buy them new but some places are wanting crazy money for them

    Not sure where I'll fit the iat yet, but coolant temp will be going in the head blanking plate

    Might just buy omex sensors as they seem easier to find

    Re: Best place for sensors?

    googling "universal air temperature sensor" works pretty well

    I've sold out of IAT but they're due any day. Open element thermistor, M12x1.5mm. I can't offer much of a discount on sensors but they can be £14 to RTOCers. They use the common 2 pin timer connector. They can be £2.50. If you can't find one Fordy from me an email and I'll help where I can. chris@efi-parts.co.uk

    Managed to source both sensors today from my local motor factors for 12quid after trade discount

    People with nodiz you want the following sensors which maybe the same as scoffs universal ones

    Intake temperature sensor part number VE375083
    Coolant temperature sensor part number VE375049

    Hope this helps everyone

    Just need the part numbers for the 2 pin crank sensor now anyone got any hints?
