Also changed the clear bulbs for Green 1's from Halfords @ £1.20 each, so have probably blown the £200 budget.

They are the gauges that i've been looking at getting,look smart,tsl also do them at around twice the price of most other suppliers.

The plug is an adapter to screw in to the pressure pick up near the cylinder next to the turbo rather then taking the feed from where yours is kev.

Gauges dead easy to set up.
Pressure sensor is located above No.3 cylinder and buried, so you would not know it was there (even though it is quite big).
Temp Sensor is in the sump plug (I am in communication with LeMans about getting some of these made, as ScoobyMania no longer sell em')

Worst part was routing the cable for the Temp sensor. I ended up cable tieing it to a bracket inbetween the 2 plastic undertrays. Looping it around a crossmember, then running it up and accross the bulkhead.

All wires and boost pipes go through the blank grommet under the brake fluid resovoir.

Electrical contacts where picked off the wiring to the heated rear window switch i.e 12V, Gnd and 12V Backlighting.

Thats cause in the Merlin catalogue and website they are not labelled Smiths.

Caerbont Telemetrix is another brand of Smiths, on the website they have the Caerbont logo instead of 'Smiths'.....
