    Engine temperature info required

    I would try it with 200tdi gauge and 200 sender if you know the engine is not that hot. With any engine conversion I run the sender and gauge for that engine. I usually stick a capillary (mechanical) gauge in as well, with the sender in the top rad hose.

    Engine temperature info required

    Earth is very important. If the gauge earths to the bulkhead, check bulkhead is earthed to chassis. And that earthing points are clean for good contact.

    Engine temperature info required

    Gauge and sender need to be matched. What sender is in tank? change gauge to suit, or vice versa.

    Defender 300tdi blue smoke

    Update from me: Turbo feels fine, no excessive play. In fact hard to feel any play, tho my hands are numb with cold! Tiny miniscule amount of oil in lower turbo to intercooler pipe. literally one or two drops worth at turbo end. The rest of the pipe is clean and dry. I'm starting to think...

    Have you told you insurance company about your modifications?

    Declare everything! Mugs game not to and not fair to other people/road users and passengers in your own vehicle! Not forgetting that you would lose everything should something go wrong.

    Internal Roll Cage - How to mount it?

    Make up a couple of out riggers out of some thick walled box section. Box off the end (cut plate to fit and weld in) and weld a load spreader plate to the other end to weld to the chassis.
