don't the ones with MFA have outside temp on the dash?

alternatively, i've you've got the wrong engine fitted, it might be from that?

Nah its the original engine, but it does have MFA therefore must be from that, anyone know where it should be mounted though?

In the front right hand side of the bumper. If you unbolt your front bumper and slide out you will see where it fits.
