Yes, and a few other things on a 4.2Tdi only.

Ill put the sender underneath so it in coolant all the time

Not a bad idea mate . So you literally cut the rad. hose and fit that in between ? Never seen that before, would have maybe been more favorable than what I'm doing.

Those guys/eBay shop you linked, are on Allied drive, in Tulla. Been there before.

You should be able to read everything that the Nissan Consult readers can.

There was a thread on the other forum where a guy connected a cheap Windows 8 tablet from Coles to an Ecutalk cable.
He then all the info on gauges in front of him.
That means water temp gauge, voltmeter, etc and a bunch of other stuff specific to TD42Ti.

Personally, I prefer the Ecutalk readout with all the info on it. I use it for my TD42T engine temp, volts and TPS.
You could throw your temp gauge away if you get that.

How can you tell if you have one of these motors? Is it specified on the firewall VIN plate?
