Arjan Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Greetings All ! I was given a Durite oil pressure gauge & sender and want to fit this to the 300 Tdi in the 110. However - one obviously needs some sort of "splitter" for this, so both the warning light switch and the gauge sender unit get to the (lack of..) oil pressure. I failed so far to find something to solve this/ What can I use please ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arjan Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) Thank you very much ! But where to get these parts ? ETC4033 & ETC4034 seem NLA here... Ideally, I need to fit a pressure gauge to 3 engines.... Edited April 20, 2017 by Arjan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Surely tee pieces for gauges would be all over eBay? Not a unique LR thing, as long as you know the thread(s). Local hydraulics supplier (or tractor place) should be able to sort you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 " Local hydraulics supplier (or tractor place) should be able to sort you out. " Not in France.... I really miss places like Pirtek... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 In the other thread I linked, it says: Quote The tapped hole that the factory low pressure switch fits into is M10*1 and the other larger tapped hole is M16*1.5 So any universal T-piece from ebay would get you there. Do you know what thread the durite is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 recently bought a adaptor to replace my bent one off ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVER-DEFENDER-DISCOVERY-300TDI-200TDI-TD5-OIL-PRESSURE-GAUGE-ADAPTOR-BAR-/122415186014?fits=Car+Make%3ALand+Rover&hash=item1c8083805e:g:xAIAAOSw4DJYih1T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toenden Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Hi. I used a flex brakeline from the engine to a t-piece from the rearaxle bolted to the bulkhead. That way I thought I could secure the connections to it better than on the side of the engine. Have worked well for the last 10 years and the threads matched (not that I measured them though, but not leaking or running loose). /mads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
