Oil pressure gauge

Post by Cosmo1 » Fri Feb 23, 2018 3:12 am

Can oil pressure and water temp gauges be fitted to discovery 3? Not just for test purposes but permanently? Thanks

I have never heard of it being done but that doesn't mean it couldn't be done

I'm not sure where the switch is - though it might be a sender.

And to do it, I would recommend either a matched electric sender and gauge or a mechanical one - either way, you will need to know the thread size and ensure you have enough room to fit the adapter.

I've just fitted a mechanical one to my Spitfire - but I have loads of room (Comparatively) to fit the "tee piece".
