Hi mate.
Had a look at your ambient gauge on the bay.
It seems to have a smiths sender witch would make it between 82-85 86.
I might be wrong and usually am. Maybe some of the experts might know better.
Cheers Mark. sm4

What's the part number on the box? That's definitely not a VDO sender which is black and square-ish. I'd take a guess and say it's a Smiths gauge too (83 & 84 model years)

Hi Tom,

Ebay will indeed decide.

Id be disapointed with less that £15 if I was selling it.

Ive given VDO ones away mind.

I hate being right.

Thats a bit of a mean finish for sure.

"Low end estimate" as they say on Bargain Hunt.
