Thanks guys

Re: Rusty sensor bracket
It's the temperature sensor that tells the car when to turn on the engine bay fan. Be aware if you try to unbolt the bracket it's highly likely at least the bolt will sheer leaving you with a worse situation than you currently have.

Damn. That sounds pants. Any recommendations on what the best course of action is?

Re: Rusty sensor bracket
I made a new one from some aluminium but I have a feeling a cable tie or two would probably work. Yours doesn't look too bad so I would agree with a lick of paint and leave it.

Re: Rusty sensor bracket
Though they were all rusty/crusty. Cleaned mine up in place and coated in in Dynax UC.

Re: Rusty sensor bracket
I have a contact locally who's been breaking up MR2's, but I guess they will all be rusted out. It seems to be still holding the sensor, not sure how!

I'd spotted that one, looks solid.
Just taken the plunge on it.
Need to get an engine cover release cable aswell, a few on that auction site, but Toyota can still supply for £63.
