XU10 oil gallery tappings
#1
Anyone got a photo of an XU10 undressed on the front? I'm led to believe there are two tappings that can be used for oil gauges, but I can only find this pic in my archives. I need to fit two sensors.

As you can see one is marked up, anyone know where the other one is or got a photo with them marked up??

A is the oil pressure light switch iirc.

Cheers

Use the one you have marked as M16 blank
On mine i use the original one above the oil filter for the dash switch (marked A on yours) and the blank for a pressure sensor for my gauge.

Anyone know what the thread at A is? I'll probably double that up, and put the temp probe into the blank. I don't want it on a dead leg particularly.

Shit the bed cully those sensors are massive. I had the same arrangement on my Rover for the oil pressure but tapped the sump plug out for temperature.

I wonder if i still have the sensors off my old block.Hmm

Edit: M16x1.5 again accordings to servicebox. Smile

Nothing wrong with it per se, but I already have a dual digital pressure/temperature gauge from S.P.A from my previous car, and intend to hook both sensors up to compliment it - you can program alarm lights for P and T.

More a case of using what I have already. Plus handy if i'm in the passenger seat as opposed to just drivers. Smile
