I've got the remote ( external ) sensor too. Good to hear that your one has lasted 1.5 yrs. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it locked onto Frankfurt. Units designed for the UK pick up their signal from Cumbria.
I believe that yet another forumite has recently bought one - I'm expecting a very thorough assessment of the unit.

Albin Vega "Mistral" is now sold
Aldi or liddle were also doing an analogue weather station a while back which were similar to the instrument pannel of a Morris minor or Mini with three dials set on a s/t or chrome back plate, they look very nice butI dont know how they performed, must ask my mate who has one in his wee house in Millport.
Will update you on it.
