It might be m10x1.0 since that is not a Bosch sensor, and intended for Vauxhal

M10 x 1 would be good.

I actually have a an M12 x 1.5 somewhere, but can I find it, no. Hence I need a new one.

Cheers for the help, probably worth a ount for a few quid.

The problem with these un branded cheap sensors is their relibility. Genuine Bosch ones are not that much more expensive.

I think that you're probably right. As it happens I want to use a temp sensor adaptor (as seen on Ebay), where you cut and tuck it into a hose.

But all the ones I can find are for 1/8 BSP sensors, which is annoying.

Edit: This type of thing

All sorted, I found a 1/8 NTP sensor (not BSP that's a mistake above) with the right plug for £12.

You could always get one and drill out the 1/8 NPT and tap M12. should be fine

I've installed one of those, just re-drilled and tapped it the size I needed (standard Mini 5/8 UNF in my case as I put the ECU one in the head (where the normal one goes) after sleeving the existing hole down).

Being aluminium they drill/tap easily.

1/8"BSP will go up to M12 X 1.5 as well without a problem.

I've got an M12 X 1.5 tap if you want to borrow it if you can't find yours.

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

I stuck the old 5/8 mini one in the lathe and drilled through it and used it as the sleeve for an 1/8NPT sender for the ECU. I'd already fitted the head so didn't want to drill and tap it for M12 filling the waterways with swarf.

I'm putting my ecu temp sensor through a blank over the heater tap hole in the head. Should get lots of flow from the dry deck port.

I did this on the hillclimber, but I want to monitor temps on the Sprint, as I don't believe the gauge, and this has a heater so I can't do that.

I was hoping to do it on the cheap with the spare sensor I had left over from the TT build, but the bloody tings gone missing.
