That second one looks spot on but there are a lot of bad reviews. I was looking at this one similar to the AliExpress one you posted but no reviews unfortunately

What you really want is a Hans Gauge. I have one fitted to my car/s.

They are long gone - the more recent equivalent -the Eezee Coolant gauge used to be on E bay but the maker stopped selling them due to lack of demand i think - it was pretty much the same as a Hans gauge.

It might be worth starting a poll to see how much interest there is then approaching them to see if it's worthwhile to run another batch.

having spoken to him a few times, i think he would do a re run of them. but that would depend on volumes required. most KV6 and diesel owners dont really want them, so its a 1.8 bulk of customers to target really. he got stuck with quite a few last time he did a batch and so i think they would need to be paid for upfront. i have one in the KV6 and its always good to know what the engine temp is , and keeps an eye on the rad fan working as it should. i would not be without mine now im used to having it. ...

Totally agree - you get to know exactly what your running temp should be in all situations and if you see an unexplained rise then you are forewarned.

I'm taking a punt with this one - £27 with the 20% off voucher. There are others that look the same but don't connect to the OBD port and don't have Bluetooth - they're actually GPS speedometers. Will update on how it goes with this one which connects directly. Cheers.

It's a little cracker! Has loads of options for what is displayed on the screen and a bunch of alarms for just about everything - I had to turn the rpm alarm off tho lol. It goes to sleep by itself and I was easily able to conceal the flat cable down the side of the dash.

Do you plug it into the diagnostic plug to pick up the readings ?
