Thinking of oil pressure, oil temp and water temp gauges.
Also, how sturdy are the vent 3pod holders?
A little top heavy with everything fitted, but fine and also havent glued it down, just clicked into place.-

Getting the oil at (or ideally above) 100C is key to driving any condensed water out.
It also shows how much cooler it's been in NI vs England over the last few days.
