Probably a dumb question but I wondered what this is ?? Temp sensor ?? TIA.

Whatever it is, it doesn't look original!
It certainly looks like it is supposed to be there....fits well.
 
Strange to have it stuck on the outside like that, and not even even colour-coded. On my facelift car the probe faces forward through a hole in the filler panel:

Hmm I'll have another look....maybe it's a pre facelift thing ? - meantime I have snapped bolt on the trans sump to fix - a real PITA...
 
Check the cabling behind the bumper. You will have 2 for the fog lights and one for the temp sensor. mine looks like Btb500 mentioned
 
FYI - Def the temp probe - I had another look at the holder and checked the part number (which I could have done in the first place !) 1298850914 :)
