Replace temp sensor with digital sensor?

[Juddder]

Has anyone replaced their temperature sensor wire (long silver curly metal wire going to water pipe at the front of the engine) with a coolant temperature sensor and added a digital gauge to go with it?

Mine is looking particularly worn out so thinking it would be good to renew it and do this at the same time

I believe the correct terminology is capillary temperature sensor and replaced it with a standard coolant temperature sensor like this one

I'm grateful you did this, thanks! I bought one of the replacement manifolds and my Spa gauge reads the same as the software. I also like seeing the temperature going down in 0.1C increments when the fans cut in

Sounds like a good thing to do - these?
