Oil Pressure Gauge

Hi All

I am thinking if fitting a oil pressure gauge to my van and have been trying to search but haven't found much (probably me though #-o )

Its on a 95 diesel and i am just wondering if any one else has done this. I always like the idea of knowing the oil pressure and have done it on a number of cars in the past.

Would any one know what the thread is in the block and warning light switch.

Thanks
Ian

If all else fails just whip out the switch and call into your local friendly car shop. :wink:

Obviously not driving Bongy. :wink:

Cheers guys.

I will do some digging.
Its just so I can get the correct T adaptor so that I still have the warning light.

Wen I find out I will update the post

Perfect thank you.

Think I have found a T adaptor too.

Also did a bit of of digging to find out what the normal oil pressure should be and at 3000rpm should be between 60-70psi

Hope that's of some use to others.

Cheers
Ian

This might be useful, you could also do a wee bit digging for an oil filter sandwich .

Take Care.
