sort of disappears behind the drivers side headlight, maybe to the front wing?

couldn't see anything obvious for it to plug onto, and was floating around down by the manifold you see there, behind the rad fans etc

you say that, but i actually seem to be held up by everyone in this car so it deffo has some power, not like the fiat i had, this car is actually quite decent.

i estimate its faster than at least 60% of the cars out there

right, just got back inside, i have looked through the whole wiring diagrams for this colour of wire and the few places it shows up are, the headunit/cdplayer, rear boot lock, and then something to do with a coolant temp sensor (which coincedentally, the temp gauge in car has never worked since i bought car)

yet i know where all the sensors are and can't find anywhere this wire can go, am thinking its never gone anywhere as reading the manual, its seems they move the coolant sensor about depending on engine type and year, so possibly a spare.

although my temp gauge doesn't work
