Outside temperature guage playin up.

[S7JGW]

My outside twmperature display in my 51 reg cooper (no trip computer) has gone mad, sometimes it displays the outside temperature and sometimes the displays breaks up and just parts of the display light up. This happend once before but seemed to fix itself within a day, but this time it has gone on for a bout a month. Anyone know of causes/ fixes or is it a trip to a dealer.
Cheers Jim.

When i used to do my dash light mods, when i used to reconnect the rev counter the display used to read extremely high...but id just disconnect it, leave it for a minute then reconnect. But if you have the warranty there then take it down for them to sort out. ;)
