The sensor is in place in its recess in the n/s brake duct. There is a short loom with a connector at the end.

I apparently bought 'the complete kit', so initally assumed the wring for the temperature sensor was generic. However, the E30 Zone tech article on installing an OBC says,
'Plug the temperature sensor\horn wiring loom into both the sensor and horn, feed it back along the side of the engine bay clipping it in with the rest of the wiring. You will see a rubber grommet beneath the brake servo, push the end of the loom through the grommet and into the car.'

So maybe it needs to be added.

Can anyone help with this please?

TIA

Many thanks to gcorky and 318is for their responses.

318-is: Many thanks for the offer. I hope you have one and I would be prepared to pay something for it.
