Has anyone got one. It looks like ours may be the same as the Esprits and someone over on LEF has his car off the road because they are on back order!

Piccy for Johnny's grandad. :-D

Geoff, the frustrating thing is that they are only about $13 from Rockauto.

Hopefully Miss Daisy's driver will have one :lol:

I know. I've got one on order through Algirdas.

Check out the LEF thread. If they are confirmed as the same, then SJ's list the Esprit one A910E6928F for £12.03 or the Elan one A100E6373S for £47.59! :shock:

I have PM'd Dave as well as you and Dave Dave :smt017

Have you tried Enners?

Take a look at this page.

It occured to me that since the Fiero fan control switch is a match, maybe the coolant temp switch would be too. It certainly looks physically the same (based on the pic above), at least the part you can see.

If you click the link to see all the vehicles it fits, you'll see the Isuzu Impulse is one of almost 200 GM cars of our era. Maybe it's the same as ours????

The supplier I linked to doesn't ship over seas, but if you can't find another one who does, I'm sure you could convince one of us on this side of the pond to relay to you.

Thanks Chris. We're waiting for some to make their way (indirectly) from Rockauto but I was just seeing if we could help this Esprit on the road PDQ.

Yo Geoffers, ive got a brand new one on my desk, came from US, offered it to Ailwyn on a thread short while ago, it would need replacing, but if it helps someone in the short-term ?

by **dapinky** » Tue 19.02.2008, 21:48

Can't help with a new one - but i have a full set of sensors on the engine i got from the shagmeister.

If it helps, i can whip the bit off and stick in in an envelope.

It is (obviously) not a new part, but the motor was running when it got taken out of the car.

I'd be happy to loan it out until a new one could be obtained in due course, then have the old one back.

As Alan says, the characteristics aren't the same. Come to think of it, has anyone confirmed that the Isuzu CTS IS the same as ours?!?

by **surfboardfiller** » Tue 19.02.2008, 21:52

Yes it's there, not sure how to get it off though, I'm not very confident with the metal bits. My spanners are too big, I could try a socket but I think the plastic bit needs to come off the top before a socket will drop low enough to fit the nut. :-D

Nice one A.

Hold on a second everyone. Phil is of to his engine to see if he can find it. Let's wait until he posts.

Sorry Geoff just got in from work not that you'd no what that is :-D

I have got a spare CTS, as since the IOM I dont use coolant, but the aim is to change the stat and put some in :wink:

Would a yellow bumper suffice though? :lol:
