    Hi all, can anyone recommend a decent (not too expensive) new front bar?
    And which engine temp monitors should I look at?


    Thanks

    I've also fitted one of the ebay ones to the transmission cooler pipe and it works well. Also sits nicely on the small ledge in front of the radio.ENGINE GUARDIAN WATCHDOG GENERATOR ALARM HEAT MONITOR | eBay

    Thanks guys, that was the one I was looking at. Do I need the relay to link it in with the oil light?

    I think the relay is for controlling an external fan or horn. There is another unit on ebay that has an additional wire to connect to your oil pressure sensor.

    The Engine Guardian one fits nicely in front of the radio.

    Ok, engine guardian just arrived but not being electrically minded am after some clarification with installation.
    I have removed an old am radio from a dash pod and was planning on mounting the guardian there but have realized that the power supply is permanent (how easy is I to change that?) also, where should I mount the sensor? The instructions say on the engine block by the radiator inlet hose. There are no bolts there to use so where else?

    Also, what exactly does the push button do?

    Any advice and photos to illustrate ideas greatly appreciated!


    Thanks guys an gals
