wondering if you guys can help me get a new thermostat for my FTO. basically wondering if i can get a non mistu part or have to pay over priced mitsu prices. If i can get an aftermarket part what should i be asking for???

They are a generic thing. Only thing that isn't is the gasket for the housing - but you can hand make gaskets from rolls of gasket paper. Give your local auto shop & call & see if they can match the Mitsi part number with their catalouges. Mitsi part is MD175746

Speaking of thermo devices, does anyone know where the external thermometer for the climate control unit is??
Mine reads far too high and I wanna have a jiggle with it.

if we can find out what type of sensor it is? I can maybe get an alternative.
it could be type "J" or "K" or "T".
If some one has an old one to check. if not I am changing my "dogs balls" (indicators to those that did not follow all the trouble I had with VIC roads) to LEDS in a couple of weeks time and I can check then (we have a calibrator @ work)
