    You could just sell them to turbosport members on the cheap as some of us(ME) cant afford £130-£140
    Only a thought.

    My theory is that either the machine will get fixed and Weber or someone else will start producing them again, otherwise an alternative will be developed.

    There is no way the YB engine is going to be held to ransom by a very basic sensor going for silly money. I say sell it to the highest bidders whilst you can.

    Well I'll be the first to make a joke about 9 bars being the way forward then...........

    Clint - if we get some, we will be getting a lot.... so the market may be flooded again.

    Really? I had heard a 20k testing machine had broken and that they didn't want to pay to have it repaired.

    Interesting.....

    Re: 3 Bars - Value?

    surely 3bar sensors don't have a large failure rate,
    so surely there is enough on the market place aready?

    Why don't people just buy a different make of 3 bar map sensor. I know where to get new ones from just not weber ones.
