Driving today noticed oil temp gauge just lying on the 70 degrees mark, is this likely to be a sensor fault ? if so, where is it located please?

They can take a fair while to fully warm up, how long was your journey?

Yup looks like a sensor fault…oil temp should sit 95-120c on a N20 motor most of the time..
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…
