    Sounds great thanks @Cremulator mate!
    Apologies can’t help, I cheated and had our mechanic install the Redarc in our wagon. Their downloadable install instructions should be available online somewhere to check threads hopefully mate.

    FWIW also @Cremulator mate!
    Our family TD42T near stock wagon and its current single 3in1 gauge was alarm bells set as per I believe hopefully solid advice found here and mechanics in agreeance as per below:
    Boost: 12psi running (alarm 13psi -ish)
    EGT: 575C alarm (Can hit this if we don’t drop down a cog labouring up heavy hotter hills)
    (Stock TD42T’s really do need IMO now an intercooler/tune)
    Water: 105C alarm (Unofficially to date have read 117C is max TD42 territory)

    Water temp wise, I have on previous trucks without aftermarket gauges nudged well into ‘H’ and they tough survived time after time.

    As O-TJ-O kindly mentions, the more in cab reactive information available is betterer IMO too :-)

    But of a dig here but new to forums and couldn't seem to find a post relating to temp sensors on the thermo housing,
    I have a 1994 swb safari 24v
    Factory manual tD42T
    I have....3 sensors on the thermo housing..one on the upper rh rad tank.....
    Have had no luck trying to trace cable to see what they link to.....I am handicapped when it comes to seeing colours which don't help.
    My reason for asking is I plan to do some mods...but before I go to far into that I want to add a better water temp gauge, oil temp gauge , egt, and boost gauge. But the best spot to put the wtg is taken (angry face) if any one is able to inform me what they all do would be awesome! Then I can workout which one to delete
