Focus wagon temp. sensor

Does anyone know where the temperature sensor is on the Focus with the built-in trip computer/thermometer?

I have a new Focus and am trying to install a cheap indoor/outdoor car thermometer. I have routed the wire to the engine compartment but everytime the car stops, the temp goes shooting up from the heat under the hood/bonnet.

Any suggestions on the best place to mount a temperature sensor?

Thanks

Its on the underside of the passenger wing mirror on cars with the trip computer.

I thought it was behind the radiator grill (at least on earlier models)? One of the checks for the trip computer wiring is to look behind the rad covers for the temp probe connector.

People with mk2 Foci have had problems finding it (if the location moved it would explain why)
