Where is the outdoor temperature sensor? It no longer reads the outside temperature but some temperature from the engine room ... It really needs maintenance or cleaning if I can just find it :D

Sorry, I can't be specific for the grandland but obviously not near any hot bits and out of the way of the wet. On previous cars I've always found them behind the front valance (not the wheel arch) but I suppose they could reasonably be mounted at the rear somewhere. Just to add to your gloom, I once had to replace a Vauxhall outside temperature sensor 3 times before the crazy readings disappeared - "it must have been a bad batch" was the comment from the storeman. Bear this in mind before you go chasing a non-existent fault elsewhere! On that car, the dodgy sensor also played havoc with the climate control.

I think it's underneath the driver's door mirror.
