I'm a bit worried as my water temp reads a bit high on the dash. Has anyone fitted an oil temp gauge instead of the clock, and if so, which gauge will 'fit' my dash - colour and style wise?

Cheers!

You can get close matches bevel & colourwise, but..... Those gauges are an odd size, OTOH 60mm rather than the std 52mm. I think thats why many use a similar water temp gauge for the oil temp, ETB etc may be able to change the logo if you require (water 2 oil). Alternatively, at least VM & I have added both oil temp & volts which can be snuggled in either side of the Speedo & Tacho.

Alternatively, fit a 2nd water temp sensor into the sump / oil cooler line and wire it to the water temp gauge via a switch so you can flick between the two
