Thanks for this info - so the gauge should work - and if it didnt then
something is seriously wrong. Any ideas where to make a hole to stick the
sensor in to? Im guessing once the stuff is being pumped around anywhere
will do. I hope the pressure isnt too much. Im guessing I can secure it with
some epoxy or something - that should surely hold.

Ahhh - good point - well Im not sure now. Do you really need to know the
temperature of your feet? All I know is that theyre nice and toasty. So
perhaps up near the steering wheel - just under the dash. Or perhaps
somewhere in the right side "demister pad thing" box.
I think it'll be very cool to know the actual water temperature. I don't
know what use this information really is - but its a bit more accurate than
my gauge.
