How hard is it on a cossie? Is there somewhere that i can plug it straight into or does it need a sensor adding

 

weld into sump

or get a modified sump plug from burton's

 

need a sump plug adapter and it screws into there.

 

temp gauge usually comes with a sensor already, you will need to either drill and weld a boss into the sump, or buy a sump plug adaptor from burtons

 

I think the mechanical ones are perminantly fitted with the sensor so you have little choice but to weld it into the sump.

 

Cheers folks, sounds like a job when the oil is next changed then

 

If you are using the sump plug adaptor, you can do it without changing the oil - Just make sure it's not hot, and whip it out and then put in the new adapter with the sensor already fitted. Use a clean bowl and you could even put the small amount of oil you loose back in the engine

 

or don't be pikey and top it up with fresh oil

 

Go through the trouble of having to dispose of the leaked oil or put it back in the engine - and save money? Not a hard choice

But I know what you mean mate

 

how much is it for say the whole kit ie adapter, nomad gauge etc ?

I need the link to that sump plug adapter from the other day

 

My car came with a GGR boost gauge, i was hoping to get one to match but cant seem to find any on their site

 

Any ideas on where to put the gauge on Escos to be functional yet not compromise any ventilation and stuff like that?

 

Mount it on the A post?

 

Hmmmm won't it obstruct the vision too much? Anybody got any piccies?

 

 

in me cossie - just an idea of locations

oil temp, volts and water temp are at bottom, and top 2 are oil pressure and boost

all nomad ones too - cost me nearly 200 qiud

 

Are the surrounds home made?

 

Looks nice. Wonder how to do it nicely on Escos. I really like that place to hold small things under the radio

 

Being a non smoker, i use the ashtray for that!

 

My ashtray is full of turbo heat-shield mounting pieces Must put those in place at last...


I don't know if you get those in UK but under the radio I keep the small print-outs I get each time I pay for parking in the city and all those call-girls adverts I get behind wipers (seen those in London phone booths - we get those behind wipers, lots of them)

 

nope - tenner a piece from nomad - they are embossed with the RS logo in the bottom left corner too - very trick

that little place is useless when you hoof it and your mobile fone hits the rear window

 

Place for mobile is under the handbrake lever
