I put the info up last week, it is on the block, the link site is down for the minute

coolnt

cheers for that but the main dealer says its on the resovior?

No idea on that, I checked on pre and post 2000 and the same, if it is on the tank, then you can see it

Temperature sensors are never in the reservoir because:
1) they can get emptied for some reason and so never generate a proper warning signal if there's no "too hot" coolant for the sensor to measure
2) the coolant temperature in them is quite different form the "real" inside of the engine that should/must be measured
3) reservoirs usually are the slowest flow point so lots of sludge gets stranded there leading to sensor fouling and misreadings
4) ...

merc must have got it wrong, they must of thought i was asking for a coolent level senser , hence the senser comes with, the resovior.?
