Thread: TD5 Engine Oil Pressure Gauge - options?

I should add that the GU Patrol they have as a demo vehicle had their double instrument pillar panel installed and it looked very well finished. Just a shame that they only cater to the Japanese vehicle market.

thanks

They welded an adapter/connector onto the rear facing angled section of the AT sump and the sensor screws into that. Looks a little exposed initially, but will probably be covered with a protector when I get my act together. Let me know if you want a photo - if so PM me with an email address as I don't know how to reduce a photo to acceptable KB size for posting on this site

I've placed my order this morning, so will post pictures of the whole lot and set up once it's here.

Although I very much like the Madman concept (especially the alarms) the OZ supplier seems to be about double that at $600 plus installation, and I didn't have much luck talking to South Africa for info/assistance on connections, or what I actually needed to order, etc. Plus I have a nanocom anyway that I keep permanently installed in my wee beastie, and I bought local (albeit a bit more expensive) for my EGT (Thermoguard) so didn't need the full madman range.
So far I'm very impressed with customer service from Autron in Melbourne and likely get their twin oil pressure/AT oil temp gauge - possibly a higher temp one than mentioned in this thread

I was too Gav, hence the reason I've gone that way. I called and asked where I could see one and they said "come over and have a look". I spoke to a gent named Frank and he struck me as one of the techs there.

This one? - really on the ball - still very impressed.

Frank Fogl - Engineering Manager - Autron P/L

Didn't catch his name, but he was certainly on the ball. Answered all my questions on the spot. His ears pricked up when I told him about ,my rebuild. He pointed to a lovely red Stag in the factory and smiled when he asked "what do you think is in that?".

Generally speaking I hate auto electrics although I've always been fascinated by electronics and radio. I have to confess I'm sorta looking forward to putting this on.
