Ford transit temperature gauge missing
Just bought a 2002 ford transit SWB LPG/petrol hybrid.
The LPG gauge is on the left of the display console where the temp gauge should be according to the hand book. As the LPG conversion is an after production one, i assume they took out the temp gauge so as to put in the fuel gauge for the LPG.
I would like a temperature gauge as it's quite important, but i can't see one anywhere else. Can i get some sort of temperature gauge from somewhere?
And are they easy to fit?
this question is also in the cars catagory by mistake

Engine management lights don't give you a clue as to whats wrong. For instance, on my truck the ABS warning light came on last week. I had to take the truck to DAF to have it put on the diagnostics computer, just to say one of the sensors had moved a bit (and had an 'air gap') and I had to push it in a bit. Cost £50 for the diagnostics and 2 hrs of my time (wheels off, brake drum off, brake shoe off, 2 seconds to push sensor in (!) and then reassemble). Everything is geared to having the manufacturer 'mechanics' (part changers more like) do the job for you at an astronomic price. Most dealerships are around £90/hr. How they warrant it I don't know!
thanks for all the answers
TWR, it has just passed its MOT no problems, runs just fine, it was converted to lpg, several years ago and i have been given all the documents and paperwork for the conversion , but they have put the lpg fuel gauge in the place of the temperature gauge.
i will get a temperature gauge as suggested above from halfords or scrap yard
thanks again
