Hello,

How do i get this out? the oil pipe unscrews, but how do i remove the water temp bit, surely i dont have to undo it from the engine and pull it through the bulkhead!?
 
Steve, you certainly do have to un-hook it from the engine, and very carefully draw it through the bulkead. Remove the grommet at the firewall pass through first, and be extremely cautious when withdrawing the capillary tube, as if you break it, the gauge will have to undergo repair.
Try to keep the tube as straight as possible, and pay attention that it doesn't snag on anything under the dash.
