Oil pressure gauge

Looking to install a VDO oil pressure gauge on my Td5 Defender, anyone with experience of doing this?
Where is the current pressure sensor located and what parts do I need to acquire?
Got a hint that Coytec sell some t-connectors, but not sure.
Any advice or suggestions are welcome, as well as good and bad experiences!
Thanks in advance

I believe above the oilfilter and then to the rear off the engine. I don't know what you will need. I looked at it years ago and then found that my sensor didn't work. Roel

Some one got a photo or an example on a T-connection used for temp or pressure gauges.
Plus any good or bad experience

Be careful as there are two types of Td5 oil pressure switch.

Hi Martin,
is there anyway to determine which one to use?
I have an early Td5 -99 Defender

Also looking to buy a kit so if anybody know a good supplier please share.

No Youtube video that show oil pressure installation on a Td5?
Any helpful photos are much appreciated.
As mentioned before also suggestions on places to buy the correct parts are appreciated.
