Is my thermometer broken?
« on: April 02, 2013, 08:37:11 am »
So last night got in my car around 11pm, it said 4ºC. After my 20minute drive it said -6ºC. This morning it says this:


Now, I know we don't live in Norway and I'm pretty sure Devon is not that cold. Haha. Is it broked?

I swear this comes from the thermometer in the bumper? I could be wrong, but that is what I have always heard / thought.

Alright I'll keep an eye out for that. Is it easy to replace?
