   I heard that you have to plum them into the sump. I tried a search on this ages ago and couldn't find alot, would the sensor fit in where the drain plug on the sump is?

   The sensor is for the oil temp. I have the same one on the water one. Just wondering how to connect the oil pressure one up

   yeah so try the drain plug on the sump? I heard that you can get sensors that just screw into there.. so maybe yours is one of those?

   i think you would need a t-piece. you can get them from the likes off demon tweeks. cost about 6quid i think. i think you would have to put it where the oil sensor is on the engine block. t-piece where the original sensor is then the oil sensor and oil gauge both plug into the t-piece.
   
   some kinda t-piece like the one in the link below
