David (Frenchfries) kindly gave me a sensor from his spares box. This is because the sensor has a black body and it *might* be for the B18E's coolant temperature sensor (works in reverse to all later 480s).
However, it looks longer than I was expecting. Is it possible that this is the OIL temperature sensor, probably common to all 480s?
Anyone seen their oil sensor? I've never had the need to remove and look.
Oil or coolant sensor? Picture attached, please help identify

I saw mine when it was changed to get the oil pressure gauge working - neither the old one nor the replacement looked anything like this. It was my 93 2 litre.

I reckon that's the water temp sensor for the coolant front RHS of block when viewed from front of car, clue is TWO wires, blue tinges and brass

That is encouraging. I should get the spec. book out and see what the resistance should be.
Thanks guys
