ok im looking at fitting an oil temp and presure guage to keep a better eye on things, iv done a search and found how to get the pressure one in, but what about oil temp? is there a sender i can "plumb" into or am i going to have to do some crazy stuff with the 10mm bolt above the oil filter? (man this is turning out to be a big project!)

Cheers all!!

You can buy a plate that has threaded holes in for the sensors, both temp and pressure.

It screws in before the oil filter.

Do a search for sandwich plate.

I'm after one also :)

I've got mine from Nick @ Autogauge, he sells them sandwich plates for about £20.

I am just fitting these guages at the min.

 

If you look at where your original oil pressure sender is (This is on the assumption that your replacing your sender for your new gauge). On the exact opposite side there is a blanking plate where you can put in another sender.

 

However don't make the same mistake as me and fit them while your car is having an oil change (Far less messy) :D

No mone is a UK, But the bottom end either next to or on the sump (I never really paid that much attention, just put them in) I would imagine it's still the same.

 

Have a look about, where your oil filter goes and they are located about there.

His number is 07723023275

Fitting was very straight forward and you can position the senders

in such way, so they are not in the way of anything.
