Gauges and Engine Fittings
I am in the process of buying some gauges for the Xr and as the car is having the full engine out rebuild i thought it would be good idea to fit them now,
but i am unsure on where they are ment to fit to the engine to take the readings!
The gauges are Volt Meter, Oil Pressure and Oil Temp
the engine is 1.6 Efi Cvh
Many Thanks

The voltmeter will need an ignition switched live feed, earth and feed for the backlight
Oil temp, my nomad comes with a replacement sum plug with a threaded hole in the centre that the temp sensor screws into, a wire is then taken from this to the gauge, also an ignition switched live and lights feeds will be needed.
Oil pressure, should come with a fitting for the sensor that T pieces in where your existing sensor for the low oil pressure dash warning light is, then needs ignition live and lights feeds.
Cheers
