Personally I would use the sender that comes with the gauge. They do tend to be much of a muchness but I've had gauges that have read false reading before with different senders.

just a quick question on this my corsa is fitted with a early 20xe from a Astra GTE so am i right in thinking mine should be fitted with the above and if so i wont need a sender to go with my gauge i can just some how connect a wire to the copper bit sticking out?

right just read of that thread so i can go off where the Allen key bolt is in the above pic and wont need any T pieces like i would if i went from the bit below it? just maybe a reducer/increaser to fit the sender

There you go then. Just check the pitch/size of that take off against that of the sender. You may need a reducer/coupler in there, bung some PTFE tape on all threads, pop it in, wire it up, job done :)

IIRC XE/LET lumps have a plug on the back of the lump for a sender take off?

Right dunno why but for ages now I have fancied a oil pressure gauge there's no real reason behind why tbh just fancied one how hard are there to fit (corsa 20XE) been looking at this one

How much more stuff would I need after buying this kit and how much in cost would it be
