   hi guys, there are 2 sensors in the thermostat housing, 1 green and one brown (not used). does any body know the thread size for the brown sensor, im putting a temp gauge on dash and want to use this hole for sensor but adapters i have got dont fit.
   
   any help appreciated

   M14x1.25 or M14x1.5 from memory but might be wrong - I'll confirm this evening as I've got an adapter to run a temp gauge there too!

   Just double checked on servicebox, and the thread for the sensor on the bottom/underside of the thermostat housing is M14x1.25.
