Well I thought I had now I,m thinking maybe I haven,t, will check tomorrow as the car is not at my home ( wish it was at times like this ).

Yes, the price is very good indeed, they do a full range of these gauges..
volts/oil temp/oil pressure/amps/water temp/boost etc, they look quite smart when lit up with an indigo blue colour , sandwich plate was ordered yesterday morning & was in my car before lunch time today, very good service

temperature one should have a solid probe, preasure should have a small hole.

thats what I have, the temp one is like a small bullet, the pressure sender is a screw in thread with a tiny hole in the end, on the outside of the sandwich plate the pressure sender has a large body (size of the actual gauge) with the electrical screw on connector on it.

I,ll check the wiring from each sender tomorrow, if they are wired correctly then maybe its what "Mark" has suggested.

One of my winter mods will be a full new dash with these gauges & a bright 6 warning light setup & rev counter & speedo

Thanks for your help guys,

I had connected everything correctly

The problem was that the sandwich plate wasn,t earthing to the block/chassis, so I,ve ran an earth from the sandwich plate direct to the chassis & it all now works

Oil temp is showing a reading, tho can,t get it up to full temp as not allowed to drive it yet,
Oil pressure is showing between 25 to 30 at tickover & between 60 to 80 at high revs.

Yet again, this great forum came to the rescue , thanks everyone

cheers
