Dd the stage 1 have any as standard or were they all options?
I seem to have a wire in the new loom for a voltage gauge, but when I got it there was the remains of oil pressure only - which the loom doesn't accommodate

That loom of yours again! All I can say is that both of mine have oil pressure only and I think that is one of (if not the) most common configurations (in uk at least?) - my Handbook says '(Where applicable)' after each of the oil pressure gauge, oil temperature gauge and voltmeter.

Ill be having none of them then,
As I've got a nice lower dash without any cut outs.
Save running extra wires outside the loom for the others as well, which will look messy
Oil pressure on a V8 will be depressing anyway - probably best not to know

The more gadgets you have, the more there is to go wrong - which wouldn't be so bad but if it isn't MOTable this year, it probably will be next

I like to know what's going on so I installed this in mine
Only two wires needed to run under the bonnet - one for the rev counter and one for the oil temp. The oil press was already there.
