As an after thought, does the guardian have an on/off and do I have to remove any dash components to get the wire through the firewall?
Behind the original radio (inside the dash hole) there will be a permanent power supply for the radio memory. Tap that and use. As for the bolt, the thermostat cover should bo a great place for it. Looks right size bolt, is right near the temp sensor and hottest part of water outlet.

Thanks clubgreenie, will check it out
Just read the ebay stuff, button looks like a setting button plus it temp live overides the alarm. Looks like the only wire to pass into the engine bay is the sensor wire. Shouldn't be an issue. You'll need a large enough hole for the wiring to pass through the dash top but the old radio, if I understand correctly it's fitted to the dash top? Lower the panel under the steering column and pass the wireacross to where the grommets pass on the right.
And forget what I posted above about a scangauge, won't plug into the D1.
Scanguage?
Thanks again, I just want to have it clear in my head before I start and stuff it up. Lol
The instructions say to power it from the ignition cable but I was planning to take it from the existing old am cb radio power.
I'd take it from a ign switched source else it's on all the time. Though it may require constant power for setting memory. Bench test first.
I just found a power supply under the stearing wheel that when off when the ignition was off.. mine is attached to the cd player I assume as when tahts off so is my engine guardian..
the push button is a live override.. so if your doing some 4wdriving and the temp is above 90, which you expect.. push the button and it will give you another 5 degrees..
I've mounted mine on the roof console just above rear vision mirror i'm about to go for a drive so I'll take a photo and post it when I return
Hey Fev
Re front bars, there are often D1 front bars for sale on Ebay and they usually go for cheap compared to new prices.

Thanks Terry, I have an official bull bar but was thinking of an after market bumper and bar.
Engine Guardian all fitted and working well. I went out in the car and the temp got unto 78 at its highest, is this about right? the default is a warning at 90 and then a full alarm at 95. should I leave it at this or drop it down to 85 and 90 respectively?
Cheers guys and gals
