I did look down but couldnt see it. I could see the large air hose and the two fans. I could also see a number of pipes but nothing that looked like the sensor I bought. 

Will have to have another look tomorrow  :-/

I'll  have a look tomorrow for where the other end of the loom comes from.

Mine was mounted to the lowest part of the bumper 'looiking down' onto the road.

Found mine on facelift 2001 2.2 CD.  If you look down you will see where you fill the wash bottle up. To the left of the filler tube is a black elongated tank which holds the wash water and which has TWO separate electric units attached.  One is the washer water pump and the other is appears to be the heater for the washer water. If you reach down underneath the washer tank you will feel a small round unit with two leads.  If you lever it gently away from you it will pop out of its hole, and that is the exterior temp sensor. If you unplug the sensor from the cable, your dash display for exterior temp will just show a couple of dashes. Plug it back in and it should change the display to a temperature reading. No reading means the unit needs replacing. About £5 I am told.
