Considered doing it yourself? It's really not that hard, and it'll save you money.

I put a tacho in my Hatch yesterday, took all of about 10 minutes. I'm sure theres a few of us on here that will tell you how to do it if you want.

Plugs like that can be bought from supercheap for a few dollars, i put that plug on to make it easier to remove from car, rather than cutting the wires to get out. you can easily cut the plug off and run wires, but the plug makes it easier.

Yeah. I'd use the accessories wire from the ignition barrel.

You should be right with the water temp one if it's got instructions?

Tacho - Signal wire goes to negative on the coil, one to ground. Then you'd have some for the backlight, which would go to you park light wires somewhere under the dash. Not sure if thats all the wires yours has but thats what mine had. Is the tacho for a 3cyl?
