Since i have owned my tiger the oil pressure indicator has been working backwards. I presume this is because it has the wrong sender in the block. Am i correct in assuming this?

Could anyone with very keen eyes identify from this picture what gauges are fitted so i can order the correct sender.



Cheers All.

Is it possible that it's just wired in back to front?

On the back of the gauge or the back of the sensor? Does the sensor ground through the engine? Is the ground any good?

I think I read somewhere that some gauges and senders work in opposite directions, so you need to make sure you get a matching pair. My VDO gauge reads max pressure if you disconnect the wire, and zero when you ground it.
