Anyway, would you please send the spec's and how to check and adjust these
items as my mechanic hadn't even heard of the temp II sensor.

He was afraid to force it as he didn't want to break the plastic cover.

Your trust in this mechanic is likely not justified if you have to supply
the specs for testing to him... if he doesn't even know what a Temp 2 sensor
is that is a red flag... if he doesn't have a Bentley (where the testing
specs are found) then I would run from this guy pronto!
