Sorry, I should have mentioned it's the outside temperature shown on the display unit, not the running temperature.

Ahh that makes sense.

Is it showing that temp when the engine is cold? The sensor is usually fitted behind the front grill lowish down, and if it becomes unclipped it could touch the radiator.

The outside temp sensor is also a common fault on Vauxhalls. You can pick genuine Vauxhall ones up on ebay, they are not expensive.

I have a hyundai i10, failed mot today on emissions, what would cause this to happen?  It was suggested that petrol or lack of use. I use everyday, travel at least 12 miles a day, not loads I know but I've never had this happen before.

If you have an emissions printout post the results for the first and second fast idle test and the idle test on here.

 

HC (Hydrocarbons)

CO (Carbon Monoxide)

Lambda

 

No need to post the tolerances just the actual values.

 

A High HC reading could be a misfire.

A high CO reading could be an issue with the catalytic converter.

A high Lambda reading could be a blowing exhaust.
