Water temp gauges
I have looked for a high temp water gauge and had no look finding one that can handle our high water temp, does anyone have any ideas as to which one and where to find one.
Thanks in advance

Our high water temp? Our coolant temps are well within the normal range of other cars, usually much lower actually. Most gauges read to 280F or so and any engine will be toast by then.

yup, just about any water temp gauge should do the trick.
just decide if you want analog or digital and go from there. (Racing Beat has an adapter that can help)

I have scanguage ii for water temps, auto trans temp, average mpg, mpg, corrected mph, voltage, etc.
I plug it into OBD, set just behind steering column, and ignore the dash except for lights.

You can also get an inexpensive obd2 Bluetooth dongle and then use an app like Torque on your smartphone to read coolant temps and other vital parameters. In the states they sell for as low as $15 US and work well. Most are made and imported from Asia, so I am sure you can find similar ones in the UK.
BTW ,I will be in the UK, (England and Scotland specifically) for 16 days starting in two weeks. Been there before, have lots of friends and good times there.
Cheers !
