Oil pressure gauge

[TVR-NUT]

Somebody please help. Just brought my first Tiv and the oil pressure gauge doesn't work. I know that it's not an earth fault etc, as when I brought it from anntas she had already tried that and told me that I need a new one. So does anyone know of where I could get 1 from? I live in Essex, so I may also need someone 2 fit it 4 me as well.
Thanks

Sorry Mark, I just found it amusing, I'm from Essex too, no offence eh.
Anyway it's probably a VDO guage (unless it's a real early car.
The sender sends a resistive ground (earth) to the guage. Test it again before you buy a guage. Ignition on, pull wire off sender and ground it, get somebody to watch the gauge. If it flies up and down as you ground the sender wire it's not the guage.

Sender is left side low on the block just to the rear of a 1 inch water hose.
