I forgot to tell you it was an electric car. I can only go as far as the local shops in it because the lead is not long enough. I'm saving for a longer lead so I can do the RBRR.

Maybe I need to connect it to 10 v supply as the other gauges

I thought the stat opens at 85C so would that not mean the oil should be operating around that temperature. I use the classic oil from Halfords.

That's made my mind up thanks

Just fitted a Oil temp gauge which takes it's reading from the sump plug. Been for a blast up the Aroad and the oil shows hot above normal and just below red line.  I did bench test the gauge and sender before fiitting and
80C was normal mark.
I have a 13 row oil cooler which I'm going to fit and wondered if it's worth fitting a thermostat. I was thinking of the one above made by Mocol.

So far I have added headlight relays and osram nightbreaker bulbs. I have also fitted two 100W driving lamps behind the grill.  I have new tyres fitted all round as my others were 9 years old. I will be fitting an oil cooler soon.
Will do a complete service around Aug/Sept time.

This is it

The trim on my Spit 1500 is stainless steel. When I restored it I replaced the windscreen and rubber and got the trim off ebay. Think it may have been advertised at GT6 trim. I don't think these tools would work on stainless trim. I remember spending about two days fitting it with a pointed tool I made up.

Everything Pete says. Also check the clevis pin for play at the master cylinder end. Just the smallest bit of wear will give you a lot less peddle movement. I did have the same problem when I changed mine and it was down to the slave not pushed forward enough. In fact I elongated the cutout on the side of the slave to give it a little pit more movement forward.
