thanks in advance chris

 

i had the problem with my oil pressure and it was one of the screws that was causing the problem if i remember

 

Hi mate,

I just fitted the exact same gauges at the weekend. Had a similar problem with the oil temp gauge ( though mine stayed at zero ). I eventually traced this to a bad earth on the sender. You've probably already tried this but thought I would let you know anyway.

Cheers,

Paul.

 

Make sure you'v really pushed & clicked the plug into the socket in the back of the gauge. Similar thing happened to me & wasted 1 hr, finally realised that they do have to really be clicked into place & checked carefully. They also have a tendency to pop put when trying to fit pods back finally!
