Sorry i meant sensor air con sensor Robin Cox mentioned behind the bumper in front of the radiator.
Ive just been out and looked down the gap between the rad and back of bumper and there are two, one down at the bottom access through the grill and one near the top of the bumper do you know which one is the air con sensor please?
Picture courtesy of Skipton01, air con sensor is the upper one, lower one is ambient (external) temperature sensor.

Brilliant thank you.
Yes, sorry for my delayed response, had I seen this earlier I would have linked the same photo as Andy did. The A/C sensor threaded piece is steel, the tube from the a/c heat exchanger that it is threaded onto is aluminium, hence the risk of corrosion in place and fragility of the parts in trying to remove the sensor from the threads - ie if it has gripped / corroded on properly, it doesn't matter what tools you have, you are trying to torque the radiator tube like a piece of toffee, even if you have a hold on that tube with some grips. The only hope is to unclip the electrical connector linking the circuit covered by fuse 38 to the sensor (and in the longer term to replace with a new a/c heat exchanger / sensor combo).
