Morning Eric. Thank you for the suggestion but this is a very old thread that has been resurrected. The gent just wanted to know the part numbers.

I actually have the gauge, sensor and hose adapter sitting in my garage ready to stick up for sale. I went the Madman way after this thread and love it. 🙈 🤠 Honestly one of the best things you can buy for a TD5

+1 for the Madman, although costly, they are brilliant and I shall be installing one as soon as funds are available.

Madman are working on the next iteration of their gauge, so I think i'll wait for that to come out.

Geobloke, you got a PM.
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Well I never, it's a small world isn't it. Big blue defender, I will keep an eye out !
I was not long ago I was on the A55 around Llandudno, Bodelwyddan and Bangor breaking the engine in on my 200tdi, ringing it's neck at .........

wait for it.....

a massive 75mph. Felt too fast to be going in a 90. Rolling with laughter

Well Windy you will definitely see me around Bangor as that's where I live and work.

Love the 200tdi it is a superb engine, pretty much bombproof, really must get my 90 back on the road again.

This is Myfanwy (Miffy) the blacktop munching terror of many an A55 commuter Mr. Green Whistle

I have the Blue Sea Oled 1741 temp guage, wrapped the sensor to the top Rad pipe on TD5, very happy with it.
Also have the voltmeter to match.
